After Al Capone's 1931 conviction for tax evasion, mobster Meyer Lansky transferred funds from Florida ';Carpet Joints'; to accounts overseas. After the 1934 Swiss Banking Act, which created the principle of bank secrecy, Lansky bought a Swiss bank into which he could transfer his illegal funds through a complex system of shell companies, holding companies, and offshore bank accounts.
Money obtained by an illegal action is not, of itself, laundered money. The laundering offense comes from the attempt to conceal its source, not because the transaction was itself illegal (which is a separate offense).
The first reference to the term ';money laundering'; itself actually appears during the Watergate scandal. US President Richard Nixon's ';Committee to Re-elect the President'; moved dirty campaign contributions to Mexico, then brought the money back through a company in Miami. It was Britain's The Guardian newspaper that coined the term, referring to the process as ';laundering.';
