Fresno Money Laundering Defense Attorney

Money Laundering Charges

Money laundering is a serious offense that is charged at the federal level.  Previously the charge was often related to mob activities exclusively, it is now a more common crime also committed by drug traffickers, gamblers and others.  When money is obtained through illegal enterprises, money laundering is used to process the money through a legitimate source.  As a federal crime, it is aggressively pursued by federal investigative teams.  The crime that was the source of the illegally gained funds, such as drug trafficking, is also pursued as a separate charge by prosecutors.

When you become aware that you may be facing charges of money laundering, contact a Fresno criminal defense attorney at once, and do not engage in answering questions from investigators until you have legal representation.  This type of investigation is normally conducted by law enforcement over a period of time while they carefully build a case against an individual.  To properly evaluate the evidence obtained by law enforcement against you, it is necessary to have skilled and knowledgeable legal counsel who knows what to look for when challenging the prosecution's case.

Penalties For Money Laundering

There are certain transactions that can be considered money laundering which you could unwittingly become involved in, especially if you were an employee of a firm that is accused of the crime.  Certain wire transfers, failing to identify the nature of certain funds coming into a business, or categorizing the value of financial transactions incorrectly may all be construed as money laundering.  Funds may also be seized by federal prosecutors, as well as any property deemed to have been purchased by illegitimate funds.  It is critical that you act quickly if you are charged with or under investigation for money laundering and the associated criminal offenses.
