At Burton Copeland, we specialise in defending clients at any stage of an investigation, so get in touch with us today. You can either call us on 0161 827 9500, or fill in our contact form and we will get back to you.

Our money laundering services

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) defines money laundering as involving one of the following processes:

• Placement – the transferring of criminal money into the financial system
• Layering – moving money through a complex web of transactions within the financial sector
• Integration – investing criminal money into the economy (e.g. through real estate)

We have represented many clients who have been accused of the aforementioned types of money laundering, assisting in building successful cases for defence with the intention of reducing impending penalties.
