Illegal money only becomes dangerous once it looks legal. That is the entire purpose of money laundering – disguising the illicit source of funds gained through drug trafficking, tax evasion, human trafficking, theft, arms dealing or other criminal activity so it can move through the financial system as if it were legitimate.

The process typically runs in two stages: first, illegal funds are introduced into the financial system, then they are moved and hidden to obscure where they came from. Laundering strengthens the reach and power of the criminals behind it, which is exactly why the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy built this course – to train the people standing between that money and the financial system it's trying to enter.
