If you like a good crime story, or even if you regularly wash your clothing,
8

00:32
it's possible you're familiar with the word 'laundry',
9
32320
3080
00:35
a noun to describe a place where washing is done,
10
35520
3000
00:38
or the clothes which need to be washed, as in 'to do the laundry'.

You're probably thinking: What's grime got to do with crime?
12

Well, another word for washing, or 'to do the washing', is 'to launder'.
13
48360

00:52
When something has been washed, it's been 'laundered'.
14

00:55
Criminals have money from the proceeds of crime,
15
55720
3520
00:59
perhaps from selling drugs or people smuggling.
16

01:02
To make the money appear legitimate,
17
62480
2120
01:04
the criminals try to hide the sequence of documents, or the 'paper trail',
18
64720
4320
01:09
which could identify the source of the money.
19

01:11
Criminals create a false trail
20
71960
2360
01:14
to make the money look as if it's been earned honestly,
21
74440
3280
01:17
perhaps appearing to come from the sale of a house,
22
77840
2560
01:20
or winnings from a casino or horse race.
23

01:23
They don't literally wash the money,
24
83560
2240
01:25
but the process of hiding its source is known as 'money laundering'.
25
85920
4680
01:30
When 'money laundering' is used in the news,
26
90720
2520
01:33
it most often refers to a suspicion of crime.
27
93360
3440
01:36
"A man has been charged with tax evasion and money laundering,"
28
96920
3920
01:40
or, "Police are concerned about organised crime and a web of gambling,
29
100960
5000
01:46
prostitution, drugs and money laundering."

It's particularly in the news at present
31
109360

01:51
because the authorities in many countries are attempting to follow the paper trail
32
111520

which will reveal how terrorist groups are receiving money.
