The process of ‘cleaning' money from criminal or illicit activities (including tax evasion) to give it the appearance of originating from a legitimate source.
The term originated from the use of laundromats or launderettes for this purpose since they always took payment in cash.
Money laundering frequently involves a process described as layering which means money moves through a number of processes or stages to distance it from its illicit or illegal origins.
