Money Laundering
Alberto M. Rosario
Criminal Justice
Research Paper
Money Laundering is the process by which illegal money becomes legal and keeps the
people under the police radars. I picked this topic because it is what I want to do after I
graduate college. I am an accounting major with a criminal justice minor. Accountants are the
people in charge of discovering these frauds and it is important to have knowledge in criminal
justice and the laws. I decided to pick this topic because it amazed me how creative this
people can be. From buying properties to investing in the community to buying really
expensive paints to then sell them in a future when they need to cash the money out. There
are plenty of different type of people that had been caught dong money laundering. From
politicians, to drug traffickers, to police men, to DEA agents. In this paper I want to focus in
money laundering focusing in drug trafficking and how this people makes their illegal money
