Money Laundering

Defending Against Charges of Money Laundering

When it comes to serious criminal charges, one charge is often not enough for the prosecution. Frequently, people facing the most severe charges find that they are facing numerous charges. One of the most common charges that are stacked on top of another charge is money laundering.

In Los Angeles and throughout Southern California, people turn to The Law Offices of Mark J. Werksman because we can stand up against multiple criminal charges. With many years of criminal defense experience on our side, we are up to the challenge of defending against money laundering and any charge that it is combined with, including conspiracy.

The Definition of Money Laundering

Money laundering isn't about any specific process, it is about what the process is trying to accomplish. Any monetary transaction that is designed to conceal the fact that the money was obtained through a criminal activity is considered money laundering.

Money laundering charges may come along with accusations of prostitution, selling drugs, committing mail or wire fraud, "structuring" a transaction by carving up cash deposits to avoid currency reporting requirements, narcotics trafficking, bribery, gambling, counterfeit merchandise, copyright infrigement, and a wide range of other white collar crimes, business crimes, and illegal activities. Any illegal activity that can generate money can also generate charges of money laundering. Our lawyers can defend you against these charges.
