French term

origine délictueuse

French to English Bus/Financial
Maybe it's the New Year in me, but by itself 'origine délictueuse' sounds like a nice cocktail.
But since it's not party time yet, here's the phrase:
'pour lutter contre le blanchiment d'argent d'origine délictueuse'
If someone has something less dopey than 'tortious origin?'..
Thanks as always.

to combat money laundering

"Of criminal origin" is fine, but it would be more idiomatic to say "money laundering", which presupposes the idea of illicit funds.
Let me know the recipe for your new cocktail.

agree Marian Greenfield : yup... if the funds were of legitimate origin, there wouldn't be much reason to launder them, would there?
