DEF

Persona que circula dinero obtenido ilegalmente a través de negocios respetables para darle apariencia de ser ganancias legítimas.

CONT

Para lograr blanquear el dinero, se tiene un proceso de cinco etapas para disfrazar el origen de las ganancias: el primer paso es el depósito inicial que debe hacerse en un banco de un país en donde el lavadinero sabe que él y sus socios no serán detenidos, ni detectada la operación en 24 horas y que el dinero no puede congelarse rápidamente.
