I'll start with money laundering is illegal so this is NOT an endorsement that you should do it. The reason people launder money is to make money earned from illegal activities (e.g. drugs, casinos) appear to be earned from legal ventures. At a small scale, it's unlikely the IRS or financial institutions will ask where the money comes from; however, larger organized crime rings have a lot of money earned from potentially illegal activities which can't go into banks with them asking questions and/or reporting the size of the transactions to the IRS. By 'laundering' the money thru a legitimate enterprise, it allows them to put the money in a bank and use it without questions asked of where it came from.

Which is the main motive of money laundering?

If you've made lots of money illegally, odds are you'll eventually want to spend some of that money. And spending money you have no "official" reason to have tends to eventually get the authorities interested in you. If they discover there's an illegal source, you're in trouble. That's where money laundering comes in. It's a way to provide a "clean" source of the money so that you can use it openly.

Anti-money laundering (AML) refers to a set of laws, regulations, and procedures that financial institutions and other entities are required to follow in order to detect and prevent the illegal practice of money laundering.
