Money Laundering Prosecutions

Money laundering

Money laundering is an umbrella term for a range of illegal behaviours, including structuring, trade-based laundering and real estate laundering. Whatever the nature of the allegations against you, our criminal defence solicitors can help.

Often, individuals and organisations are unwittingly caught up in money laundering investigations. Strict anti-money laundering regulations are in force, and any breach (whether deliberate or accidental) could land you in trouble with the law.

If you’re suspected of money laundering, or you’ve already been arrested, then we appreciate just how worried you’ll be. But don’t worry – we're here to help you.

POCA proceedings

Money laundering convictions can lead to serious penalties, along with the seizure and confiscation of assets under the Proceeds of Crime Act. This provides prosecuting authorities with far-reaching powers to seize, retain and confiscate monies derived from (or suspected to derive from) crime.

In almost every instance, asset seizure and attempted confiscation of funds and proceeds have now become the norm, and proceedings are often brought even without the success or benefit of criminal proceedings.
