Funds Laundering is the process of disguising the illicit origins of monetary gains by making them appear to have originated from a legitimate source. This criminal activity is employed to obscure the connection between funds and the illegal acts that generated them, thereby allowing perpetrators to utilize the proceeds without attracting suspicion.
