Money Laundering Allegations
Criminal Defence Expertise
Facing money laundering allegations is a serious legal matter with potentially severe consequences, including imprisonment, asset seizure, and lasting damage to your reputation.
At Shield Law, our experienced criminal defence lawyers provide strategic legal representation for individuals and businesses accused of money laundering in England & Wales.

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.
