What is Money Laundering

Money laundering is the process of disguising the origins of money obtained through criminal activity, making it appear as though it comes from a legitimate source. Under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), it is a criminal offence to conceal, acquire, use, or transfer criminal property knowingly or through negligence.

Common types of money laundering include:

Moving illicit funds through multiple bank accounts or shell companies

Using high-value assets (such as property, vehicles, or art) to obscure the money trail

Structuring transactions to avoid detection by financial institutions

International transfers to jurisdictions with looser financial regulations

Consequences of a Money Laundering Conviction

A conviction for money laundering can carry:

Up to 14 years in prison

Unlimited fines

Confiscation of assets under POCA

Serious professional, financial, and reputational damage

If you are under investigation or have been arrested for money laundering, it is crucial to obtain specialist legal advice as early as possible.
