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.
