What Exactly Is a Money Laundering Offence?

Money laundering is a serious criminal offence in the UK that involves handling, concealing, or transferring money obtained through illegal activities to make it appear legitimate. The aim is to let criminals access the money without alerting authorities and benefit from their crimes.

A Serious Criminal Offence Under UK Law

Money laundering is a serious criminal offence in the UK, primarily governed by the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA 2002). It is illegal to conceal, disguise, convert, or transfer the proceeds of crime, and those convicted can face up to 14 years in prison, substantial fines, and confiscation of assets. There are also offences for failing to report suspicions of money laundering, while businesses must comply with strict Money Laundering Regulations (MLRs) to prevent financial crime.

What Penalties Could You Face If Convicted of Money Laundering?

If convicted of money laundering, you could face up to 14 years in prison, significant fines, and confiscation of assets, with potential impacts on your career or business. Our London criminal defence solicitors work to minimise these risks and achieve the best possible outcome.

Do I Need a Solicitor If I'm Only Being Investigated for Money Laundering?

Yes. Even during the investigation stage, legal guidance is critical. Our criminal defence solicitors can advise on your rights, communicate with authorities like the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) or HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), and help prevent charges from escalating. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes.

Why You Need a Specialist Criminal Defence Solicitor?

Money laundering cases are complex, often involving financial investigations, international transactions, and regulatory scrutiny. Our solicitors understand the intricacies of these cases and offer:

• Early intervention: Acting quickly can prevent charges or mitigate consequences.
• Case assessment: We examine the evidence thoroughly, including financial records and electronic transactions.
• Negotiation with authorities: We engage with the police, Serious Fraud Office (SFO), or HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to explore alternatives where possible.
• Court representation: If your case reaches court, our team provides strong, experienced advocacy.

Choosing a solicitor who specialises in financial crime ensures that your case is handled with expertise, precision, and discretion.

How Do Criminal Defence Solicitors Build a Defence for Money Laundering Cases?

Our criminal defence solicitors build a defence for money laundering cases by carefully reviewing all evidence, including financial records, transactions, and communications.

We investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged offence, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case, and challenge any incorrect or misleading evidence. Our experienced solicitors also provide guidance during police interviews and represent clients in court, ensuring a strategic, tailored defence at every stage of the process.

Our approach is thorough and strategic. We:

• Review all financial records, transactions, and communications
• Investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged offence
• Challenge evidence where appropriate
• Represent clients in police interviews and court proceedings

We tailor every defence to the specific charges, ensuring the strongest possible case for our clients.

How Quickly Should I Seek Help from a Criminal Defence Solicitor?

You should seek help from a criminal defence solicitor immediately. Early legal support allows our team to review evidence, advise on your rights, and negotiate with authorities, often making the difference between a minor outcome and a serious conviction.

Acting quickly gives our team the time to:

• Review the evidence carefully
• Advise on your rights and obligations
• Negotiate with authorities or seek alternative resolutions

Early legal support is often the difference between a minor consequence and a serious conviction.
