Money laundering occurs when illegal income is made to appear as if it came from a legitimate source in order to avoid suspicion from the government. By using money laundering criminals are able to create a front for their illegal activities. Criminals want to move the money so that investigators cannot follow it and trace it back to illegal acts.

When tax evasion is committed it is often in conjunction with money laundering in order to allow individuals to lie about where their money and assets have come from. Some people will try to hide their money in bank accounts they think authorities will not be able to find. Penalties for money laundering have been made more closely to the scheme that generates the illegal funds.
