Interrogating the defendant
The prosecutor reminded the general public
"Money laundering" is actually not far away from our lives
Maybe just helping a friend
"open an account" or "open an account"
You may get jailed
Therefore, When a relative or friend suggests
borrow a bank account to "check out the account,"
be sure to ask about the true source of the money and where it goes.
When the other party offers "favorable fees" as an inducement,
do not break the law for petty profits.
