Quoted Evidence
“We have seen records held in the US identifying you among those who have held accounts. These accounts contained assets of up to USD 3.5m... There are a number of ways such accounts and also offshore trusts have been used to avoid inheritance tax, UK domestic tax, or tax imposed by other countries. Such accounts have also been used to launder money.”

Financial concealment is relevant to trafficking (asset-hiding), but this event describes tax/money laundering schemes specifically. Moderate confidence these are distinct crimes, though financial infrastructure can facilitate trafficking.
