1).ABOUT:- Money laundering is the process by which illegal funds and assets are converted into legilimate fund and asset. Money from illegal activities is deposited in numerous legimate accounts making it difficult to trace so the money can be used freely.
2).MEANING:- Money laundering is the process of creating the appearance that large amounts of money obtained from criminal activity, such as drug trafficking or terrorist activity, originated from a legitimate source. The money from the illicit activity is considered dirty, and the process "launders" the money to make it look clean.
3).STAGES:- Money laundering is essential for criminal organizations who wish to use illegally earned money effectively. Dealing in large amounts of illegal cash is inefficient and dangerous. The criminals need a way to deposit the money in financial institutions, yet they can only do so if the money appears to come from legitimate sources.
There are three stages or phases of money laundering placement, layering and integration
(1) PLACEMENT:-Its refers to the initial point of entry for funds deroived from criminal activities into the financial system.
(2) LAYERING;- Layering refers to the certain of complex network of transaction that attempt to blur the link between the initial entery point and the end of the laundering cycle.

4).MONEY LAUNDERING TATICS:- There are many ways to launder money, ranging from simple to complex. One of the most common ways to launder money is through a legitimate cash-based business owned by a criminal organization. For instance, if the organization owns a restaurant, it might inflate the daily cash receipts to funnel its illegal cash through the restaurant and into the bank. Then they can distribute the funds to the owners out of the restaurant's bank account. These types of businesses are often referred to as "fronts."
Another common form of money laundering is called smurfing, where a person breaks up large chunks of cash into multiple small deposits, often spread out over many different accounts, to avoid detection. Money laundering can also be done through the use of currency exchanges, wire transfers, and "mules" or cash smugglers, who smuggle large amounts of cash across borders to deposit them in offshore accounts where money-laundering enforcement is less strict. Other money-laundering methods involve investing in commodities such as gems and gold that can be easily moved to other jurisdictions, discretely investing in and selling valuable assets such as real estate, gambling, counterfeiting and creating shell companies.
