It means that we are more likely to be used by criminals in the layering stage of money laundering rather than in other stages of the process.
To combat this effectively, we need to develop our training and tools to detect suspicious transactions, not only where the underlying offence occurred locally, but also where the offence may have occurred in another jurisdiction, quite possibly a distant part of the world. This requires a sophisticated approach to transaction monitoring by institutions, and to investigations by law enforcement agencies.
