    conversion of currency into some other form or the physical movement of the

    currency. Placement of dirty money relies on businesses that deal heavily in cash for

    example in the sports world.

    Next in the layering stage, launderers attempt to hide their tracks on the paper

    trail. As the name implies, layers of transactions, business entities, fronts, or other

    concealment mechanisms are imposed between the money and its source. Sometimes

    these layers may involve many parties as well as countries where bank secrecy makes

    following the money trail difficult or impossible at times. In some countries, paper

    trail can be broken only with difficulty for instance in the United States where in other

    countries it is the opposite.

    Last but not least, the stage of integration. Integration mechanisms use the

    same financial institutions and instruments employed in the other stages with a

    slightly different aims. At this stage, the apparent source of the funds is the main

    focus. The launderer now needs to make the funds look as if their origin is legitimate.

    A close relationship between money laundering and sports has been formed.

    As the world of sports evolved into a mega money-making activity, automatically

    money laundering will has its own fair share. Nowadays, the sports industries are

    getting more attention regarding the issue of money laundering as the industries often

    involved a big sum of business transactions for example they buying and selling of

    players of the cricket or the football clubs. Therefore, law has to be there to curb the

    situation. The following content will contain discussions regarding the issues of

    relevant sports law or law on the subject of money laundering in various countries for

    namely Malaysia, United Kingdom and also India. Besides that, other areas that

    covered money laundering and how it is conducted will also be discussed.

    Malaysia

    There is sports law act in Malaysia. The sports law in Malaysia is governed by

    the Sports Development Act 19972. The Act regulates all sporting issues. Malaysian

    Sports Law is relatively recent and has failed to incorporate the salient factors

    essential factors for protecting the rights of sportspersons. The fact that there is only a

    few reported cases under the heading of sports law in the Malaysia Law Reports

    proves that sports law is relatively undeveloped even by the courts. The principal

    reasons could be attributed to the fact that the disputes and conflicts are usually settled

    out by courts or by in-house tribunals set up within a particular sports organization.

    Examples of Malaysian cases are Woon Kwok Cheng v HR Hochstadt3, where a

    trained jockey was deprived of a jockey license after the domestic tribunal refused to

    grant license and in Datuk P Murugasu v Wong Hung Nung 4 , regarding a

    disciplinary proceeding against a football player where action was taken by Executive

    Committee instead of the Disciplinary Committee of FAM. This deprives the

    sportsperson of their legal rights especially in matters related to their employment

    contract. Another problem is the lack of proper procedure in determining the amount

    of compensation payable to a sportsperson in the event they suffer injury during a

    sporting event. However, problems faced by Malaysian sportsperson at present are the

    various other laws and not the Sports Development Act 1997 regulates all social

    activities related to sports. The issue of match fixing such in the case Raveychandran

    s/o Goonydo v Datuk Abdul Kadir Jasin and Anor5 are not fully regulated by this

    Act. Issues regarding tax and recreational land in sports are regulated by other

    legislations such as the National Land Code. The Sports Development Act 1997

    merely deals with and provides for the administration and development of sports

    association in Malaysia. The existing general laws in Malaysia do not specifically

    deal with a sportspersons rights and therefore, it is timely to introduce legislation to

    cover this are. It is vital that such legislation concentrate on the safety aspects and

    protection of a sportspersons rights.

    Sport is an area of human activity and has become a way of life in many

    societies. In Malaysia, sport is regarded as an instrument capable of contributing to

    nation building. Malaysia aspires to foster the growth of a united, healthy, active,

    disciplined and productive society to enhance national pride and prestige in

    international arena. Thus, in 1986, during the Sports Convention held in Langkawi the

    discussion focused on introducing a National Policy on Sports, which was

    subsequently drafted in 1988. The policy emphasizes more on sports culture and

    focuses mainly on the development of high performance sports for local and

    international competitions. However, the National Policy for Sports lacks legal

    sanction to provide for the necessary protection for sportspersons. Therefore, in 1997,

    the Sports Development Act 1997 was passed to provide legal measures to regulate

    sports activities. However, as has been mentioned earlier, then Sports Development

    Act 1997 merely provides for the administration of sports bodies, it is timely for the

    Minister of Sports to review the Sports Development Act 1997 to provide better

    protection for sportspersons and the related sports community.

    The National Sports Policy (NSP) was initiated and approved by YAB Tun Dr

    Mahathir Mohamad and his cabinet on 20 January 1988. This document is of

    historical importance for sports in Malaysia for it provides the foundation and

  • 8/4/2019 Final Sports Law 10.08

    5/21

    5

    guidelines for the sports system, development and growth. The main aim of NSP is to

    develop an active, healthy and fit society through sports and physical recreation

    activities. The Malaysian Association for Physical Education, Sports Science and

    Fitness (PPJSKM) organized a public forum in 2002 and proposed that the NSP

    should be understood as providing the foundation of Malaysian sports system. The

    forum believes that since sports system comprises of different organizations, a

    partnership concept must be present in all interactions such as understanding, respect

    and appreciation of their different roles and the working relationship must be based on

    persuasion and consensus. With the establishment of the Cabinet Committee for

    Sports, it is hoped that the policy in NSP is implemented and carried out with honesty

    by the appointed authorized personnel.

    As can be seen, although there is sports law in Malaysia, it clearly does not

    cover any area of money laundering. This is mainly because the area of sports in

    Malaysia is still new and has not fully developed yet. The main act that covers the

    money laundering in Malaysia is Anti Money Laundering Act 2001 (AMLA). The

    AMLA came into force in 15 January 2002. The AMLA complies with nearly all the

    FATF Forty Recommendations and recent amendments have been included into the

    AMLA pursuant to the AMLA (Amendment) Act 2003. These amendments extended

    to areas covering offence of terrorist financing. Subsequently, the AMLA is now

    Malaysias primary legislative framework on anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist

    at the same time. Under the AMLA, it is an offence for any person to engage in or

    abet the commission of money laundering and terrorist financing. The AMLA seeks

    to implement measures to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing offences.

    The Bank Negara Malaysia is put in-charge of the implementation of the provisions of

    the AMLA. The Bank Negara Malaysia is also required to report requirements in the

  • 8/4/2019 Final Sports Law 10.08

    6/21

    6

    AMLA to accountants who are members of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants.

    These accountants must hold valid practicing certificates pursuant to Rule 9 of the

    Malaysian Institute of Accountants (Membership and Council) Rules 2001.

    The AMLA covers the offences of money laundering. In addition, it creates

    mechanisms for investigating and recovering proceeds of unlawful activities. Not only

    that, the AMLA brings anew the power for the freezing, seizure and forfeiture of the

    proceeds of unlawful activities. The AMLA also consolidates the requirements on

    reporting institutions to report knowledge or suspicion of, money laundering activities.

    The Anti-Money Laundering Act 2001 has been renamed and revised as Anti-

    Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001 (Act 613). This new Act

    came into force on 6 March 2007 that incorporated relevant requirements in the area

    of terrorism financing.

    On the other hand, the Penal code gives directly or indirectly the provisions

    for the lawyers regarding the money laundering case. It is provides under Section 130

    of the Penal Code of Malaysia. The Criminal Procedure Code which also known as

    the CPC is a compilation of all steps or procedures accord with all the offences

    under the Penal Code.

    The Star newspaper reported Malaysia's law on par to control money

    laundering. It reported that Malaysias legislation is currently on par with other

    jurisdictions to control terrorist funding activities and global money laundering abuses

    in the country. Malaysian Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail made this remark

    during the International Conference on Financial Crime and Terrorism Financing

    2010. Here, Abdul Gani stated that since Malaysias Anti Money Laundering Act

    (AMLA) and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2010 came into force, the number of

  • 8/4/2019 Final Sports Law 10.08

    7/21

    7

    cases involving these activities underwent sharp decrease from 2004 to 2009. Abdul

    Gani also stressed that Malaysia hoped to overcome terrorist financing activities and

    erase all forms of money laundering abuses of the global financial system. According

    to Abdul Gani, "We have enacted and implemented effective anti-money laundering

    and terrorist financing legislations that encompass a comprehensive framework to

    control, if not, to curb these activities

    As to the money laundering cases under sports, in Malaysia, there is still no

    case being reported under this category. Under sports, match-fixing and bribery are

    more commonly seen and heard. Under the match-fixing, as reported in Dawn.com

    sports network, Malaysia comes under the match-fixing cloud. Three officials from

    FIFA came to Malaysia to do some global investigation into match-fixing and illegal

    gambling (betting). The News Straits Times newspaper said that FIFAs full

    investigation into match-fixing brought them to two Malaysians. FIFA suspects that

    the match officials were being paid $10,000 to help wangle specific results in

    international friendly matches. The newspaper also said that FIFA would investigate

    two Malaysia-Zimbabwe friendly matches played in 2009. Malaysias football was

    badly hit by a match-fixing scandal in 1994 to 1995 when a police investigation

    resulted in more than 100 players, including the then-national captain Matlan Marjan,

    being banned for life. Steve Darby, chief coach of former Malaysian Cup champions

    Perak state suggest that Malaysia should legalize football betting to knock-out match-

    fixing. Legalized betting will help (prevent match-fixing). The money can be

    ploughed back to provide better training facilities for the players, Darby said.

    Bung money can also come under money laundering. Bung money is a

    secret payment that comes under part of football transfers. In football, taking a bung

  • 8/4/2019 Final Sports Law 10.08

    8/21

    8

    is illegal and therefore, against the rule. Lets say, if a club wants a particular player

    in their team, there are usually two ways they can get them. First, wait until their

    contract timed out and get the players for nothing. Second, agree on a transfer fee

    with the players club and then agree on a deal. An agent could give bung money to

    the manager in favour of the manager telling his chairman that he wants to buy a

    player that agent works for. The particular agent would then pay a sum of money.

    They would then get money themselves when the deal has taken place. An agent

    could also give a bung to a chief scout for recommending one of his players to a

    manager or club.

    The most famous case involving money laundering is the Indian Premier

    League game in cricket. The guardian newspaper reported thatIndia launches inquiry

    into IPL money-laundering allegations. "The concerned department has already

    started the investigation process," said Mukherjee. "I can assure the honourable

    members that all aspects of IPL including its source of funding, from where the funds

    were routed, how they have been invested etc, are being looked into and the

    appropriate action as per law will be taken. No guilty or wrongdoers will be spared."

    Shashi Tharoor, a government minister, resigned over claims an associate was handed

    equity in the new franchise in Kochi. "The minister's resignation is not the issue," said

    the leader of the Communist Party of India, Gurudas Dasgupta, during parliamentary

    debate. "The issue is the IPL. [The] issue is laundering of money." So as can be seen

    here, money laundering is a serious offence and should not be taken lightly. As David

    Conn said, too much money had corrupted the heart of a great and decent game.

    United Kingdom

    According to Edward Graysons argument, he had claimed that, no object

    exists which jurisprudentially can be called sports law. As a sound-bite headline,

    shorthand description, it has no juridical foundation: for common law and equity

    create no concept of law exclusively relating to sports. Each area of law applicable to

    sport does not differ from how it is found in any other social or jurisprudential

    category... This question whether is sports law considered as a written or unwritten

    law and whether it can be found under the United Kingdom laws.

    Sports often experience problems that could bring down a particular sport.

    Most people out there could not see the underlying problems faced by the popular

    sports like football and cricket. These are one of the few sports experiencing serious

    matters such as money laundering. Recently, the arrest of Alan Stanford had brought

    the matter to the limelight. The hearing of Alan Stanfords case will be held in early

    September 2011. Money laundering in sports often happened in big sport clubs such

    as football or cricket. The sports law itself do not cover money laundering in its

    provisions but it can be recognized in various sources of law that have anti-money

    laundering provisions such as under the criminal law. Few of the statues containing

    provisions of anti-money laundering are the Proceeds of Crime Act6 and the Money

    Laundering Regulations7.

    Laws against money laundering first came into effect when the first directive

    came from the European Commission in 1991 to meet the terms of the

    recommendations made by the Financial Task Force or better known as, FATF8. The

    FATF is an inter-governmental body that is established to build and endorse policies

    at an international or national level to contest against any terrorist financing and

    money laundering. FATF had made it obligatory for the members of the states to

    mark money laundering as a criminal offence alongside the application of financial

    institutions. The Anti- Money Laundering Act was incorporated into the United

    Kingdom Law through several acts. They are, respectively, the Criminal Justice Act

    1991, the Drug Trafficking Act 1994 and the Money Laundering Regulations 1993.

    Ten years later, the second directive on money laundering was passed to

    incorporate the amendments to the recommendations made by the FATF. With the

    passing off the second directive, it extended anti-money laundering commitments to a

    definite set of events provided by a number of service professionals such as

    independent legal professionals, accountants, auditors, tax advisers and real estate

    agents. Recently, in 2005, the third money laundering directive came to broaden the

    due diligence measures by the advantageous owners, recognising that such methods

    can be applied on a risk-based approach and it is required to enhance the due

    thoroughness that needs to be undertaken in certain state of affairs. The directive was

    incorporate into the United Kingdom law by the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002

    (Amendment) Regulations 2007 (POCE Regulations 2007)(the TACT Regulations

    2007, the POCA Regulations 2007), the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 and the

    Terrorism Act 2000 (Amendment) Regulations 2007 (TACT Regulations 2007).

    The Proceeds of Crime Act plays a fundamental role in the legislation of

    Criminal Law. Its primary role concerns the seizure and retrieval of profits arising

    from crime and the effects may distort the different classes of criminal activities,

    money laundering in particular, if which it is the personification of the United

    Kingdom law. The Proceeds of Crime Act enables convicted criminals to be served

  • 8/4/2019 Final Sports Law 10.08

    11/21

    11

    with exclusion orders, obliging then to pay back that state financially for income

    resulting from the crime. Aside from that, it allows the upturn of crime proceeds from

    the criminals who are not convicted as well as the police force authorised with

    plentiful other abilities to assist them in battling the criminal offences. On the other

    hand, this act applies to all citizens, despite some failures to report the offences and

    the tipping off offences only apply to those who are occupied in activities in the

    synchronized sector.

    There were distinct offences for drug money laundering under the Criminal

    Justice Act 1988 and the Drug Trafficking Act 1994 under the pre-Proceeds of Crime

    Act 2002. Because the 2002 Act has significantly changed all principal money

    laundering offences and related definitions whether the conduct alleged to be the

    physical element of the offence was committed before or after the commencement of

    the Act, the provisions of the old legislation (Drug Trafficking Act and Criminal

    Justice Act) will apply to conduct before the Act comes into force. Part 7 of the

    Proceeds of Crime Act commenced on 24 February 2003 and acts of money

    laundering begun on or after that date are offences under the new Act.

    When the predicate offence that generated the proceeds took place is irrelevant

    in determining whether the Act applies. S.340 (4) clarifies that the new offences bite

    on the proceeds of criminal conduct that took place before commencement. Schedule

    9 of Proceeds of Crime Act states the key activities which may be relevant to business

    such as it advices about the tax affairs of another person by a firm or sole practitioner,

    the buying and selling of real property or business entities, the managing of client

    money, securities or other assets as well as the opening or management of bank,

    savings or securities accounts and the creation, operation or management of trusts,

    companies or similar structures. Under S.327, 328 and 329, money laundering is

  • 8/4/2019 Final Sports Law 10.08

    12/21

    12

    defined as well as the act which constitutes an offence or conspiracy or attempt to

    commit such an offence.

    The offences under these provisions replaced the parallel drug and non-drug

    money laundering offences with single offence that do not distinguish between the

    proceeds of drug trafficking and other crimes. There were separate offences for drug

    money laundering under the Drug Trafficking Act 1994 and non-drug offences under

    the Criminal Justice Act 1988 under the pre-existing laws. Hence, The Crown

    sometimes had difficulties in pinpointing for the purposes of charging under the

    appropriate Act the source of the criminal proceeds. This can be seen in the case of R

    v Ali & Others [2005] EWCA Crime 87.

    Some amendments to Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 are contained in the Serious

    Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (SOCPA). S103s108 SOCPA came into force

    on 1 July 2005. They contain; a new defence to the failure to report offences where

    the person making the report has no information to identify the money launderer or

    the whereabouts of the criminal property; a new offence of failing to report on the

    required form, and other changes to reporting procedures; a new threshold amount

    below which deposit-taking institutions need not seek consent to operate accounts; a

    change to the legal professional privilege defence for professional legal advisers. On

    the 15th May 2006, S.102 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act came into

    force. It creates a new defence to the main money laundering offences and the failure

    to report offences where the conduct generating criminal property or the money

    laundering took place overseas but was lawful there.

    The Money Laundering Regulations 2007 repeal and substitute the Money

    Laundering Regulations 2003 and implements the third directive. They set

  • 8/4/2019 Final Sports Law 10.08

    13/21

    13

    administrative requirements for the anti-money laundering regime within the

    regulated sector and frames the scope of customer due diligence. The regulations aim

    to limit the use of professional services for money laundering by demanding

    professionals to know their clients and monitor the use of their services by clients.

    Regulation 3 states that the regulations apply to persons acting in the course of

    businesses carried on in the UK in the following areas; credit institutions, financial

    institutions, auditors, insolvency practitioners, external accountants and tax advisers,

    independent legal professionals and etc.

    The prosecutions of most money laundering cases revolve around proving one

    of the two things which are; the proceeds that were laundered were Criminal Property.

    It is defined here as the benefit that is gained from criminal demeanour. Such can be

    proven by establishing that the property constitutes a benefit and would not be

    available to the defendant without criminal proceeds and that the defendant was

    themselves aware of this situation. The property in question can be in monetary form

    or it can be property or real estate.

    Even if the offence charged is conspiracy to launder the proceeds of crime, it

    is essential for the Crown to demonstrate that the property is the actual proceeds of

    crime; R vRoy Peter Harmer9; R v Liaquat Ali & others10. If the property has not

    yet been recognised at the time of the agreement to be criminal property, it must be

    proved that there was an intention that the property laundered would be criminal

    property in cases where conspiracy to commit any of the principle money laundering

    offences is charged. The knowledge that the property was criminal property must be

    9[2005] EWCA Crim 01

    10[2005] EWCA Crim 87

  • 8/4/2019 Final Sports Law 10.08

    14/21

    14

    proved if the property has been identified; R v Saik [2007] 1 AC 18 (which was adecision in relation to a charge of conspiring to contravene s 93C(2) CJA 88).

    Property is defined in s 340(9) POCA 02 and covers all property wherever

    situated, including money, real property, personal property and things in action.

    Next, that the proceeds laundered were the result of criminal conduct. Hence,

    in the UK, this conduct would constitute as an offence. Proving that proceeds are the

    benefit from criminal conduct in money laundering prosecutions will usually be

    done by circumstantial evidence. Where money laundering offences are proceeded

    with on the same impeachment as the underlying crimes, the underlying criminal

    conduct will be proved as part of the proceedings as well as the money laundering

    offence.

    It is not necessary for prosecutors to prove that the property in question is the

    benefit of a particular or specific act of criminal conduct where money laundering is

    charged on its own without a predicate offence. It is essential for the prosecutors to

    produce sufficient circumstantial evidence from which inferences can be drawn to

    prove that the property in question has a criminal origin. If there is clear evidence of

    money laundering a charge may succeed if the real source of the money remains

    unknown: R. v Anwoir11.

    Since the introduction of the provisions contained in the Proceeds of Crime

    Act 2002 and the Money Laundering Regulations of 2003, the prosecutions for money

    laundering is increasing steadily. Statutory duty have been placed by these acts and

    regulations on institutions and professionals that operate in finance or accounting to

    report transactions and investment that are known to be or reasonably suspected of

    11[2008] EWCA Crim 1354

  • 8/4/2019 Final Sports Law 10.08

    15/21

    15

    being the result of criminal money laundering. Solicitors, accountants, financial

    advisors and such professionals that are concerned with the areas of acquisition or

    disposal of assets or managing funds and investments have this duty bestowed upon

    them by these acts and regulations.

    The purpose of s328(1) POCA 02 was not to turn innocent third parties like

    the bank into criminals; its purpose was to put them under pressure to provide

    information to the relevant authorities to enable the latter to obtain information about

    possible criminal activity and increase their prospects of being able to freeze the

    proceeds of crime. This can be seen in Squirrell Ltd v National Westminster Bank

    Plc12

    ; a bank froze a clients account without warning or explanation once it

    suspected that the account contained the proceeds of crime. It was held that once the

    bank suspected that the applicants account contained the proceeds of crime, under s

    328(1) POCA 02 it was obliged to a) report that to the relevant authority; b) ensure

    that no transactions were carried out in relation to that account; c) ensure that no

    disclosure was made which could affect any inquiries the authorities might make.

    Therefore the bank in freezing the account did precisely what the legislature intended

    it to do.

    Regarding the relation between sports and money laundering, popular sports

    such as football often succumbed into this offense as there are a number of stake

    holders investing in the clubs. Other than that, there is a deficient of the ownership of

    the clubs and last but not least, with a popular sport favoured by everyone, there

    would be a great volume of income concerned. As identified by the FATF, there are

    three precise areas where money laundering occurs in the sport. Firstly, the ownership

    of the clubs are often transferred, secondly, the ownership of the players and the

    12[2005] EWHC 664 (Ch)

  • 8/4/2019 Final Sports Law 10.08

    16/21

    16

    market is always transferred. Thirdly, money laundering occurs often due to image

    rights, advertising agreements with several parties and also the sponsorship of the

    clubs to play.

    In a nutshell, money laundering in sports does occur in the United Kingdom

    but they do not have special provisions of money laundering under the sports law.

    This is because sports law is considered as an unwritten law as it can only be found in

    various sources where it applies alongside the FATF recommendations.

    Other Areas That Cover Money Laundering And The Ways It Is Conducted.

    There are few areas that cover the money laundering in Malaysia. Money

    laundering for example gambling is the best example in Malaysia. Regardless in any

    country in the world, gambling is generally accompanied with crime and illegal.

    Therefore in Malaysia there have the gambling law review in order to check or

    regulate on the money laundering. A government team has formed to look into the

    governing law of gambling in order to rewrite them to stem money laundering and

    other illicit activities. The money laundering also governs in the business area in

    Malaysia.

    Money laundering is conducted by structuring or smurfing, bulk cash

    smuggling, cash intensive business, trade based laundering, Shell companies & trusts,

    bank capture, casinos, real estate and last but not least, through black salaries.

    Structuring or even known as smurfing, is a way of position where income are

    segregated into minor deposits. Through the segregation, the doubt of money

    laundering is more or less conquered and also, the requirements needed in the anti-

    money laundering reports can be avoided.

    Secondly, bulk cash smuggling. Bulk cash smuggling literally involves a

    substantial smuggling of cash to another influence. The smuggled cash is deposited

    into a financial body, most preferably a bank located away from the depositor or

    offshore banks. Offshore banks are banks which provide great bank secrecy with low

    or no taxation, inclusive of accessibility and protection from financial steadiness and

    politics.

    Next is cash intensive business. Money laundering occurs through the business

    that is classically drawn in the acceptance of income, will utilise their accounts to

    deposit cash obtained illegally or legitimately, and classifies the whole income as

    legitimate.

    The fourth area is trade-based laundering. Through trade-based laundering, the

    transaction of income is well hidden by under or over-valuing invoices obtained.

    Besides that, money laundering can occur through Shell companies and trusts.

    The true holder of the cash is kept discrete through the Shell companies and trusts.

    Depending on the authority, there might not be a need to reveal the true holder or

    possessor of the cash.

    The sixth area that involves money laundering is by bank capture. Here, bank

    captures allows money launderers to purchase a domineering interest in a bank,

    especially authorities that are weak in the controls of money laundering. After all the

    process, the cash is able to move out the bank, without being investigated.

    Other than that, casinos are one of the targets of money laundering. After each

    game in the casino, the players will bank in his payment; hell be issued a cheque.

    Here, the culprit of the money laundering activity will have the access to deposit the

    cheque into his own account and lastly, claiming the cash to be the income of the

    winnings of the casino.

    Money laundering can be conducted through real estates. The purchasing of

    real estates can be done illegally. The proceeds of the sale can appear to be legitimate

    to the outsiders. In other words, the pricing of the property is manipulated. The party

    who sells the property will enter into a contract that under-represents the actual value

    of the property. And thus, directly will obtain the illegal proceeds to add up to the

    dissimilarity.

    Last but not least, black salaries. Black income might be illegally used by

    some companies that hold unregistered employees without a contract in black and

    white, for cash salaries.
