Federal Money Laundering Defense

Federal Criminal Lawyers

Have you been accused of money laundering? Are you currently under investigation for money laundering or some form of organized crime? You will need a knowledgeable and aggressive attorney at your side to help you challenge these charges and avoid a conviction in federal court.

Money laundering is a criminal offense wherein the perpetrator takes money that was unlawfully obtained and then conducts a series of financial transactions in order to make it appear to have originated from a lawful source. By disguising money with other transactions, creating false or fraudulent invoices or using off-shore accounts, a person may work to make money appear to have been legitimately obtained. Money laundering is covered under U.S. Code, Section 1956 “Laundering of Monetary Instruments.”

A conviction under this section may result in up to 20 years imprisonment, as well as a fine of not more than $500,000, or twice the value of the property involved in the transaction, whichever is greater. Specific penalties that may be imposed may vary depending upon the particular case.
