This scenario is a red flag because:

Repeated transfers to the same beneficiary that do not align with the stated business purpose suggest possible structuring, layering, or movement of illicit funds.

It indicates activity that lacks a legitimate economic rationale — a hallmark of suspicious behavior in money laundering.
