So how do criminals actually turn dirty cash into clean money? Yogi has a serious problem. He's just come into £100,000 he can't explain. Walking into a bank with a suitcase full of notes and HMRC questions will start asking questions. And that leads to one place, prison. So Yogi needs to make that dirty cash look completely legitimate. He opens a small cash-only burger van. Every day around 50 real customers show up and buy a burger. But when the coast is clear, he punches 200 extra transactions into the till. Customers that don't exist. Then he lifts the dirty cash and drops it straight into the drawer. As far as HMRC is concerned, nothing suspicious is happening here. Yogi just had a very busy week. Come year end, he files £100,000 declared in profits. HMRC writes back: Brilliant, you owe us £20,000. And Yogi pays it without hesitation. Why? Because that remaining £80,000 is now officially clean money. He can walk into any bank and deposit it. He can buy the car, the house, whatever he wants. HMRC doesn't see a criminal, they just see a working man. That's one of the most common ways criminals wash dirty money. Follow to see how money.
