The definition of money laundering and its broad objective criteria create room for interpretation, particularly where legitimate transaction or tax planning could be misconstrued as money laundering. The defence strategy in such cases varies significantly depending on the party involved: regulated legal entities and their officers versus private individuals.

For regulated entities, the focus is on demonstrating compliance with corporate obligations and the proper execution of due diligence. In contrast, defending private individuals centers on explanatory efforts to establish the absence of any criminal intent or offense.

Our experts will thoroughly analyze all suspect transactions to develop a tailored defence strategy, whether for communications with law enforcement, engagement with the prosecutor, or representation during trial proceedings.
