The 6AMLD formally detailed the key money laundering offenses countries should criminalize and widened the scope of what should be considered an offence. Offences are listed below:
Conversion or transfer – This includes converting or transferring criminal property to conceal or disguise the illicit origin of the property or assisting a person who is involved in activity to evade legal consequences of their actions
Concealment or disguise – This includes concealing or disguising the nature, source, location, disposition, movement or the ownership rights of criminal property
Acquisition, Possession or Use – This includes acquiring, possessing and using criminal property with the knowledge that it is criminally derived property
6AMLD created an additional offense of “aiding and abetting, inciting and attempting” any of the aforementioned offences, specifically targeting professional enablers and gatekeepers,
and introduced the concept of ‘self-laundering,’ which is where a criminal cleans the proceeds generated by his or her criminal activity.
