What is money laundering in NSW?
Money laundering is committed when an attempt is made to conceal the origins of money obtained through illegal methods. The goal of money laundering is to make it look like the proceeds of criminal activity have been made through legitimate, legal means.
Money laundering offences fall under the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) and the Commonwealth Criminal Code Act 1995. The Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) outlines three main offences for money laundering:
- Dealing with money that you know has been obtained illegally and attempting to conceal its origins.
- Dealing with money you know has been obtained illegally but not attempting to conceal its origins.
- Dealing with money obtained illegally while being reckless about its origins — for example, being aware that the money may have been obtained through criminal activity, but proceeding anyway.
Authorities are rigorous in cracking down on money laundering in Australia. Because of this, money laundering activity can be investigated by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), the NSW Crime Commission, State Police and the Australian Federal Police (AFP).

FAQs about money laundering
The penalties for a money laundering offence are determined by establishing the level of knowledge that the accused had when committing the offence. A common defence for money laundering is attempting to prove that the accused did not know about the money’s origins and was unaware that they were committing an offence.
Duress is another common defence for money laundering. Acting under duress occurs when the accused knowingly commits an offence because they (or someone close to them) have been threatened with serious harm. For a duress defence to be successful, it must be proven that the accused committed the offence because there was no reasonable alternative to avoid serious harm from occurring.
