MONEY LAUNDERING

18 U.S.C.  §§1956 &1957

Frequently, the government will pursue money laundering charges in addition to another substantive criminal charge, for example, a violation of the federal criminal tax laws or the federal health care fraud statute. A person may also commit money laundering in several ways:

• The Promotion of Unlawful Activity
• Concealing Proceeds of Specified Unlawful Activity
• International Transportation of Monetary Instruments
• Withdrawing or Depositing Property or Funds Derived from Illegal Activity
