Are you being accused of a money laundering crime and do not know what this crime is about?
Article 400 bis of the Federal Criminal Code establishes that any person who acquires, alienates, manages, guards, possesses, changes, converts, deposits, withdraws, gives or receives for any reason, invests, transfers, transports, or relocates resources, rights, or goods of any nature within national territory, from abroad or vice versa, knowing that they come from or represent the proceeds of a criminal activity, is committing the crime of money laundering.
A very common example of money laundering is the following:
An entrepreneur uses a tax planning service to evade the payment of legally required contributions. The invoicer then pays the entrepreneur the amount of money evaded, minus a commission fee. This money, which originally belonged to the treasury, becomes illicit proceeds. Once returned to the entrepreneur, it is considered laundered money derived from illegal operations.
