However, there are countless techniques available in this field. For example, we can imagine the following situation: an accomplice decides to put a painting up for auction and the criminal acquires it. The auctioneer must therefore hand over the money to the accomplice. The criminal then returns the work to the accomplice, collects the money and pays a commission.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-433 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaufholdreveillaud.dominocom.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/illustration-art.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"908\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kr-new.dominocom.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/illustration-art.png 908w, https:\/\/www.kr-new.dominocom.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/illustration-art-450x210.png 450w, https:\/\/www.kr-new.dominocom.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/illustration-art-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kr-new.dominocom.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/illustration-art-768x359.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Another technique used by criminals is the purchase of works of art via offshore companies, in order to conceal the beneficial owner.<\/p>\n<p>The speculative nature of the art market makes it easy to conceal money-laundering operations.
