Money Laundering : Decoding the Law & Measures of Prevention

500.00

The statute of Money Laundering i.e., the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 has been enacted to combat money laundering in India. It has the following three aims:

To prohibit and control money laundering;
To provide for the confiscation and seizure of property obtained through money laundered; and
To deal with any other issue connected with money laundering in India.

The money obtained through illicit means cannot be used as one's own economic asset and requires a cleansing of sorts. The legitimization of the money received as gains from an illegal act brings us to the concept of money laundering. The instant course focuses on the sources, channels and modes of money laundering and discusses the various legal provisions attracted by them.

The main focus of criminalizing money laundering is to take gain out of the crime or fraud. The idea for the establishing of the offence is that it is felonious for the individuals or business entities to aid the criminals to incentivize them from the proceeds of their pursuit of crimes or to ease the commission of such crimes by giving them financial services.

It is designed to cover the legalities associated to the complex economic offence of money laundering alongside the punishments that might accrue if one is convicted. The intensity of the offence tracing the developments around bringing an end to the economic offence of money laundering, is critically analyzed by the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary.
