Functionally, term refers to a "cover structure" or "concealment organization"

Greetings... taHaiya Tayyiba wa b3d...

The term "spaghetti jungle" is (as cited above) one person's colloquialism for what is a clandestine and deliberately-convoluted structure, organization and/or procedures intended to achieve deceptive "concealment" or "cover" of an activity not intended to be made public, in this instance, money laundering, often via the informal system of currency transfers called "hawala."

Thus, equivalent terms may include:

shabakat tamwiih = شبكة تمويه

tashkiil ikhtifaa' = تشكيل إختفاء

shabkaat taghTia = شبكة تغطية

Hope this helps.

Khair, in sha' Allah.

Regards,

Stephen H. Franke
