Money laundering is when someone tries to hide money earned through criminal activities so that it appears to have been earned legitimately. This way, the money can be used again without anyone realizing it comes from a crime.
What do they spend it on?
It is an eyesore for many people, and you may know them too. People who spend money like water on expensive items such as designer clothes or buy expensive cars without any legal income backing it up.
This observation was also made in the money laundering investigation that led to the arrest of the 58-year-old man and 51-year-old woman in Bergeijk this morning.
Cars
As a result of the action stemming from the money laundering investigation, two cars were seized. The approach to money laundering is an important part of the fight against undermining crime. It is a crime that keeps organized crime running.
