{UAH} Criminals do tend to buy themselves “toys”.

Criminals do tend to buy themselves "toys". It is common to see
high-value assets and consumer goods such as properties, cars, bikes,
number plates, boats – even private jets and helicopters. They are
important as symbols of success and patterns of luxury lifestyle.
High-value antiques, art and jewellery are particularly favoured
investments and a way to launder money. Criminals may also make
functional investments – investments in businesses used as fronts for
illicit activities, to launder illicit proceeds, or to perform
criminal activities.

**********Uganda( luxury car imports, labour export/sex slaves, real
estate/land etc,)

These businesses tend to be wholesale and retail trade, bars and
restaurants or transport companies. Convenience stores and off
licences can be used to sell illicit goods (for example smuggled
alcohol) or act as fronts for other illicit activities. Other
profitable sectors for organised crime groups are construction, sports
and gaming, money service businesses, payday loan companies, sex,
tattoo and other personal activities, hotels, sports and casinos.
