This violation is the act of making funds, derived through criminal means, seem legitimate. This usually involves investing criminally derived money into a legitimate, or what appears to be a legitimate business. The money extracted from this “legitimate” enterprise is laundered or clean money. Many money laundering operations also involve tax evasion and “creative” accounting. It is interesting to note that money laundering techniques were streamlined during the prohibition era in order to hide the true origin of funds derived from the illegal sales of alcohol. Today, many money laundering operations make the prohibition era money laundering seem like child’s play. Despite the fact that these are very complicated transactions, the government has been very vigilant as of late, leveling extremely severe penalties against individuals involved.

EARLY INTERVENTION BY COUNSEL IN KEY TO A PROPER DEFENSE

It is extremely important to have an experienced and knowledgeable attorney begin working on your case as early as possible. Critical issues, such as how your particular case will be filed and what charges will be leveled against you, are decided, many a time, very soon after your arrest or during the investigatory period. Early intervention gives us an opportunity to potentially reduce or dismiss either felony or misdemeanor charges against you before the first court date.

Over the years we have successfully represented many clients charged with Money Laundering as described above. We have observed that the longer one postpones in hiring counsel, the greater the problem may become.
