Money Laundering dropped Police station 2023

Our client a Chinese national was followed by HMRC officers and found to be in possession of a significant amount of cash in excess of £100,000. In interview he had a duty solicitor and opted to make no comment. He was released under investigation for money laundering offences and came to us to seek further specialist advice. We made representations to HMRC which resulted in the criminal investigation being discontinued by HMRC. It meant a great deal to him because his visa application had been frozen during the investigation. He thanked us for our “very professional service” and was able to move forward with his life in the UK. We provided a Mandarin speaking senior lawyer who was able to take clear instructions and understand the issues at the centre of the case.
