Money laundering typically involves three steps: placement, layering, and integration. 

Placement – involves transferring illegal funds into the financial system by using methods such as round-tripping, shell companies, or currency exchanges.

Layering – involvesmoving the money through different accounts and jurisdictions to make it harder to trace back to the original source.

Integration –involves depositing the money back into the economy through investments that appear legal, such as investing in real estate or stocks.

One of the most common methods of money laundering is called the "layering" method. This involves splitting large amounts of money into smaller, seemingly legitimate transactions. The proceeds of illegal activity are deposited in accounts with shell companies and intermediary banks, making it hard to trace back to the original source. This layering can occur across different countries and different types of financial instruments such as stocks, bonds or currency exchanges.

Another commonly used money laundering technique is "integration". This involved depositing illegally obtained funds into legal sources such as loans or investments, so that it appears as if the funds are legal financial assets. An individual could create a business and use the profits from that business to invest in a legitimate company or buy real estate.

A third method used in money laundering is “placement”. This technique looks to put ill-gotten gains back into circulation by purchasing items with the funds like high-value goods and services. It makes it appear as if they are simply part of a legal economic exchange when really they represent proceeds from unlawful activities.

Once these funds have been laundered, they can then be integrated back into the economy without any evidence pointing back at their unlawful origin which makes them very difficult to detect and prosecute when used by criminals for their malicious purposes.
