Money laundering is a common strategy used by criminal organizations to hide the source of their illegal income. The goal is to shield illegal organizations from punishment while making money look legitimate. Additionally, this conduct makes it challenging for law enforcement to follow money traces.

To highlight this threat, Interpol launched its #YourAccountYourCrime campaign. Interpol raised awareness of money mules.
