Case Study: Client Avoids Prosecution in Complex Money Laundering Investigation

We are proud to share a recent success story that highlights the critical importance of early, expert legal intervention in complex criminal investigations.

Our client was interviewed under caution by the police in connection with serious allegations of money laundering. It was alleged that over £100,000 had been fraudulently and illegally withdrawn from a victim’s bank account and transferred to our client’s cryptocurrency account before being further dissipated.

Despite the gravity of the allegations and the potential consequences, our client avoided prosecution entirely. This outcome was the result of our team’s swift and strategic involvement from the outset. We provided comprehensive legal advice before, during, and after the police interview—ensuring our client’s concerns were addressed and their rights fully protected throughout.

We worked closely with the client to ensure they were fully informed at every stage of the investigation. Through meticulous interview preparation, we equipped them to navigate the interview under caution with confidence and clarity.

Following our intervention, the police concluded their investigation with no further action (NFA) taken against our client. This not only spared them the stress and uncertainty of criminal proceedings but also safeguarded their personal and professional reputation.

This case underscores the value of obtaining specialist legal advice at the earliest possible stage of a criminal investigation—particularly in complex matters involving allegations of money laundering, the proceeds of crime, and alleged criminal property.
