Money Laundering
Facing a criminal charge can be tremendously stressful and can negatively impact your professional standing, your family, and other relationships, but you do not have to face it alone. A conviction for money laundering, or using money you obtained through illegal actions, can bring about serious consequences including jail time and fines. This crime has frequently been associated with organized criminal activities and it is possible that an individual might find him or herself unwittingly participating in a money laundering scheme.
If you or someone you love has recently been charged with money laundering, you need an experienced lawyer who will vigorously protect your legal rights and your freedom. Contact the Appleton criminal defense attorneys of Kohler, Hart & Priebe, LLC, at 414-271-9595 to schedule a free consultation.
Types of Money Laundering
Typically money laundering consists of three actions. First, the person puts his or her “illegally-obtained” cash into the bank or other financial system. The party then works to hide the cash by making many transactions before finally gaining financially from the rewards. Some common money laundering acts include:
- Structuring or “Smurfing”
- Trade-base laundering
- Bank capture
- Casinos
- Bulk cash smuggling
- Black salary
Using any of the above methods or establishments to launder money may result in prosecution, and the penalties associated with a conviction are quite severe.
