Money Laundering

Federal Criminal Defense Attorney, David J. Joffe focuses on criminal defense of persons accused of money laundering. He has personally handled over 500 Federal cases. Call today for a confidential consultation.

Money laundering is a process or series of actions through which income of illegal origin is concealed, disguised, or made to appear legitimate to evade detection, prosecution, seizure, and/or taxation. Illicit proceeds must be “laundered” to make it appear as though the funds were generated through some legitimate means. This allows criminals to enjoy the proceeds of their criminal activity without raising suspicion.

The legal authority to prosecute money laundering cases is found in 18 U.S.C. § 1956. According to federal law, an individual convicted of money laundering shall be sentenced to a fine of no more than $500,000, or twice the value of the property involved in the transaction, whichever is greater. They may also be sentenced to no more than 20 years in prison.

Money laundering cases are complex and require experienced legal representation. If you or someone you know is involved in a money laundering investigation, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney at Joffe & Joffe.

Money Laundering and Fraud Charges Dropped

Joffe and Joffe represented a woman who had grown up in a small island nation just south the state of Florida. Our client had been duped into depositing monies from a family member who lived there and worked who worked for the national telephone company. Unbeknownst to our client, the Internal Revenue Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration and HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Task force) were actively investigating this conduct. Our client was contacted by law enforcement and immediately called us. Our client was able, through our diligent efforts, to obtain a letter of immunity from the United States Attorney's office and an agreement not to prosecute. The government initially contended that it could in fact indict our client for money laundering, bank fraud and wire fraud.  Joffe and Joffe was able to save our client from spending large legal fees and was able to keep the her from ever being charged.
