description The International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2015 estimated the size of money laundering to be at 2-5% of the world Global Domestic Production (GDP) with around USD800 billion to USD2 trillion being laundered. The global criminal activities are on the rise and the contribution of money laundering to exacerbate the problems associated with the upsurge in the criminal activities is unquantifiable. The negative effect of this on global economic development has grown to a staggering proportion. This is partly because the crisis experienced due to increase in criminal activities is borne out of the fact that the life blood of almost all the crimes are embedded in the financial system. Ironically, detecting money laundering becomes extremely difficult once it has been allowed to crystallized at layering level and finds its ways to the legitimate fund through integration mechanism. To combat money laundering, the parties must understand how money-laundering activities operate. The need to institute greater vigilance to prevent money laundering therefore becomes imperative.
