ABSTRACT

As we have seen already, there are key differences between the laundering of the proceeds of organized crime and the movement of money used to fund terrorist activities and these are shown at Figures 5.1 and 5.2. Criminal gangs seek to process their ill-gotten gains simply in order to become richer. So, viewed graphically on a page, left to right, the crime occurs at the back end of the laundering chain (that is, it is the first event which occurs – Figure 5.1).
