Money laundering is the process by which “dirty money” (money obtained through illegal activity) is passed through a chain of legitimate businesses in order to “clean it”. The courts consider activities such as transferring, converting or handling funds to make them appear legitimate, as well as failing to report suspicious transactions, as money laundering. If you are being accused of a crime of this nature, you need to contact us as a matter of urgency. This is so we can fight your corner from the offset at the police station - because there are serious consequences for convictions of these charges, including imprisonment, fines and confiscation of property.
At Tyler Hoffman Solicitors, we have extensive experience in successfully defending clients against money laundering allegations. Our team will meticulously examine every detail of the prosecution's evidence and case handling. We will bring in our own specialists to challenge assumptions and present all the factors that could mitigate any potential sentence.

Money laundering is considered a serious offence under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, with penalties reflecting this. The maximum sentence for primary money laundering offences, such as concealing or transferring funds derived from underlying criminal conduct, is 14 years’ imprisonment. Fines may also be imposed, and courts often issue confiscation orders to recover criminal property.
The severity of the sentence will depend on factors like the amount of money involved, how involved you were and whether the activity was part of an organised operation. Aggravating factors, such as the use of complex schemes to avoid detection or laundering funds from high-level underlying criminal conduct, can result in harsher penalties.
The court will also consider mitigating factors, such as cooperation with the National Crime Agency, evidence of limited involvement or a guilty plea, which may reduce the severity of the sentence.
