money laundering: targeting criminal proceeds  

Définition

  • Targeting the proceeds of crime is a key element in law enforcement, both because it disincentivizes crime and because it can be the only way to cripple a criminal organization such as a multinational drug-trafficking cartel, which can easily withstand the loss of personnel to arrests or drug shipments to seizures. Furthermore, tying an organization to a financial transaction involving drug money can be the best or sometimes the only way of linking an organization to the drugs themselves and providing sufficient evidence for prosecution.
