Money Laundering B International Transportation (18 U.S.C. 1956(a)(2)(A)(intent to promote the carrying on of specified unlawful activity)) is a federal offense that involves the illegal transfer of money or assets across international borders with the intent of concealing or disguising the true origin of the funds or assets. This type of money laundering is often done to avoid taxes, sanctions, or to support terrorist activities. It is important to note that this type of money laundering does not necessarily require the movement of funds across borders, but just the intent to do so. The types of Money Laundering B International Transportation (18 U.S.C. 1956(a)(2)(A)(intent to promote the carrying on of specified unlawful activity)) include: 1.

Common methods include under-invoicing and over-invoicing of goods. 2.

Offshore Accounts: Offshore accounts are accounts that are located in a country other than the one in which the account holder resides. This type of money laundering can be used to conceal funds or to avoid taxes. 5. Money Mules: Money mules are individuals who transfer money illegally on behalf of others. They are typically recruited by criminals to move funds across borders in order to avoid detection.
