Various countries, among them the Member States of the E.U. and hence Germany, have passed laws against money laundering. No employee, either alone or in collaboration with third parties, may take measures that violate domestic or foreign regulations on money laundering. "Money laundering", as defined in these regulations, means in particular the introduction – e.g., by conversion or transfer – into the regular economic cycle of money or other assets originating directly or indirectly from a criminal offence. In cases of doubt about the permissibility of financial transactions relating to cash transfers, the relevant finance department should be consulted at an early stage.
