Content: It is not unusual for businesses to receive large cash amounts, so there is often little suspicion from authorities. This also happens with property ‘investments’, where large sums of cash are invested into deposits, renovations, or other property-related activities. Off-shore layering. To conceal the origin of funds, many money launderers will route money through off-shore bank accounts in an attempt to hide the cash’s trail from on-shore authorities, who may not have the legal power to investigate the source of foreign funds. This is known as ‘layering’ because it adds another layer of transaction on top of the trail that can divert attention from the true source. In the UK, money laundering is dealt with by the Proceeds of Crimes Act 2002, the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, and a series of complex national and international anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.
