What are parallel investigations in
money laundering cases?
Have you ever wondered how law
enforcement tackles complex financial
crimes like money laundering? One
effective method is through parallel investigations.
investigations.
So, what exactly are parallel
investigations in money laundering
cases? Let's break it down.

simultaneous inquiries into both the
original crime that generates illegal
funds known as the predicate offense and
the money laundering activities that
follow. This approach allows law
enforcement to address both aspects of
the crime at the same time.
Why is this important? Money laundering
usually occurs after a crime such as
fraud or drug trafficking. By
investigating both the predicate offense
and the laundering activities together,
law enforcement can gain a complete
picture of the crime. They can track the
source of the illicit funds and how they
are concealed.
Another key aspect of parallel
investigations is cross-jurisdictional coordination.
