Money laundering
In order to be able to spend illegally earned money in the upper world without running the risk of it being immediately confiscated by the justice or tax authorities, it must be laundered. This concerns, for example, money that comes from drug trafficking, human trafficking, theft, social or tax fraud. Laundering your own criminal profits or the criminal profits of others, and also participating in this, is a punishable offense.
