illegal transactions
Crimes involving exchange
Illegal transactions are exchanges of money, goods, or services that violate the law.
The term covers a wide range of activities: drug deals, money laundering, tax evasion, arms trafficking, or purchases made with stolen funds.
In financial and legal contexts, the phrase often appears in discussions of fraud detection and regulatory compliance: The bank flagged several illegal transactions on the account.
The illegality may lie in what's being exchanged, how it's exchanged, or the failure to report it.
