Money is the prime reason for engaging in almost any type of criminal activity. Money-laundering is the method by which criminals disguise the illegal origins of their wealth and protect their asset bases, so as to avoid thesuspicion of law enforcement agencies and prevent leaving a trail of incriminating evidence.
