New Zealand: A View of Money Laundering

Abstract

‘People have been hiding wealth ever since the notion of value dawned in the mind of man. As society and the instruments of society have become more sophisticated, so have the process of hiding wealth. While a hole in the ground might have well served our ancestors, today to achieve the same degree of “invisibility” a panoply of legal and business devices will often be employed to achieve the same result.’ For those involved in crime which is premeditated, the accumulation and management of wealth is the driving motive.
