Criminals are ‘washing’ dirty money in plain sight — could you spot the signs?
 |
Criminals are making money illegally from serious and organised crime, leading to money laundering – i.e. ‘washing’ their money – so they can fund their lavish lifestyles.
This is often done by using cash businesses as 'fronts', such as barber shops, nailbars and vape shops, that may possibly be open long hours with very little custom. Once ‘washed’ this money is then able to be used to fund an expensive lifestyle in the UK or abroad.
Do you know about, or suspect, money laundering in your local community?
