Money laundering

Full article: Money laundering

It has been argued that expensive art is used to move high sums of money.[1][2][3][4][5] In 2020 the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations for the U.S. Senate released a 147-page report titled “The Art Industry and U.S. Policies That Undermine Sanctions” it focuses on the connection between high-end art and potential money laundering schemes.[6][7] These high value sales may not only be used to launder money, but could also be used to pay for illicit services.
