Have you ever thought about the journey your cash might have taken to get to you? Would you have any idea if it had been used in a crime?
Every year, billions of pounds are illegally laundered through the UK. Any one of us could be handling laundered money without even realising it!
‘Money laundering’ is a tactic used by criminals to turn profits from illegal activity into seemingly ‘honest’ proceeds.
