Money laundering is the process in which the proceeds of criminal activity are made to appear as if they have come from legitimate sources.
Money laundering investigations can be targeted towards individuals and / or businesses.
Chapter 7 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 captures a number of money laundering offences, ranging from the concealment of assets to facilitate organised crime through to corporate offences such as failing to disclose and tipping off.
There are serious penalties available to the Court for convictions therefore it is essential that you seek competent representation.

It is essential that specialist representation is sought from the outset due to the serious implications that money laundering investigations can have on your business, or you as an individual.
