Course Description
“Money Laundering” is the generic term used to describe the process by which criminals disguise the original ownership and control of proceeds of criminal conduct by making such proceeds appear to have derived from a legitimate source. “Money Laundering” is a transaction or a series of transactions effected with the aim to conceal or change the identity of criminal proceeds, so that the money, after such processing, will appear to have originated from a legitimate source. 1.5 trillion US dollars are being laundered every year. In this course, we will learn about the legal framework, the requirements of the law society and some practical enforcement issues. As a lawyer, you should be able to identify these transactions and take appropriate action.
In this course, we will cover:
- The Legal Framework
- Practice Direction P
- Reporting and Enforcement
