The AUSTRAC typologies and case studies report 2009 is the third in a series of reports AUSTRAC has produced to assist industry to fulfil its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations.
The 42 case studies within this report illustrate how legitimate businesses and financial channels have been misused for money laundering and other crimes such as drug importation and trafficking, tax evasion and credit card fraud. The report also highlights many 'red flag' indicators - examples of suspicious customer behaviour that may suggest illicit activities.
