If you’re facing federal money laundering charges or are under investigation for money laundering, the clock is ticking. You need to get a jumpstart on your money laundering criminal defense. After all, your freedom and your future hang in the balance.
Having the right money laundering defense lawyer navigating the federal criminal justice system can mean the difference between being able to breathe freely and having to spend years – or even decades – in federal prison. It can mean the difference between knowing that you have financial security and having all of your money and assets taken away. It can mean the difference between coming home to your loved ones and seeing them only on prison visiting days.
Federal money laundering statutes (18 U.S.C. Section 1956-1957) involves three different kinds of behavior: domestic money laundering, international money laundering, and sting operations. In order to prevail, the U.S. Attorney has to prove that you knew the money was a byproduct of an illegal act, that you participated in the financial transaction, and that the transaction affected interstate or foreign commerce. The underlying financial transaction can involve moving funds, transferring property titles, or using a financial institution. Typically, a separate count of money laundering is charged for each transaction.
While the sentencing guidelines for money laundering are complex, a conviction typically means a federal prison sentence, fines, and money and property forfeiture.
