An introduction explains the nature, extent, and impacts of money laundering and details the specific elements of the offense. Seven chapters explain the investigation of these cases and cover case initiation and case scenarios, resources and checklists for financial investigations, the analysis of net worth and sources and applications of funds, and the use of informants and undercover operations. They also explain the use of warrants, subpoenas, demands, and investigative task forces and the development and use of a document control system. Seven chapters on prosecution of money laundering cases focus on trial preparation, a checklist for handling money laundering cases, anticipated defenses, indictment forms, pretrial motions, evidentiary considerations, voir dire of a money laundering prosecution, and model jury instructions. Charts, checklists, forms, sample documents, and footnotes
