What changes in the legal position between trespassing occupiers claiming squatters rights who have been in occupation for less than 28 days and those who have for more than 28 days? How do the respective processes that a landlord must go through to evict them from the land differ?
What changes in the legal standing of trespassers after they have been in a building for more than 28 days?
No, this is embezzlement, bribery, and kickbacks, but not money laundering.

But consider how this will look to anyone who investigates it. Arni...

For example, as part of a divorce agreement, my (soon to be) ex-spouse wants me to put money aside in escrow that my ex can use in the event that I open up a case in Family Court.
