Abstract

Introduction

Money laundering is the process by which criminals attempt to conceal or disguise the nature, location, source, ownership or control of their ill-gotten gains, so as to make it possible to invest or consume the proceeds of crime (Masciandaro1999)

Money laundering (Unger, 2007):

  • distorts prices, consumption, saving and investment rates;
  • increases the volatility of import/export levels, the demand for money, interest and exchange rates, as well as the availability of credit;
  • threatens the solvability and liquidity, as well as the reputation and profitability of the financial sector;
  • Endangers the continuance of foreign direct investment (FDI)
  • Acts as a multiplier for crime, corruption, bribery and terrorism
