ABSTRACT

We have already seen that federal money laundering statutes require that we show both a Speciˆed Unlawful Activity and a ˆnancial transaction or transportation. Most law enforcement ofˆcers are comfortable with the former. Proving that an unlawful activity took place and that the defendant did the crime is their job, after all. It is the ˆnancial side of things that may be somewhat intimidating. But this needn’t be so.
