Overview

This training programme delves into the complexities of Trade-Based Money Laundering (TBML), a sophisticated method used by criminals to disguise the proceeds of crime and legitimise their illicit origins through trade transactions.
Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of how TBML schemes operate, including common techniques such as over/under-invoicing, multiple invoicing, and falsely describing goods and services.
