Money laundering is the process of concealing the origins of illegally obtained money, typically by passing it through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions. This practice is often used by criminals to make 'dirty' money appear 'clean' and allows them to enjoy the benefits of their illegal activities without attracting attention. Offshore banking and tax havens play a significant role in facilitating money laundering, as they provide anonymity and less stringent regulatory environments for financial transactions.
