The defendant had been charged with becoming concerned in a money laundering arrangement, contrary to section 328 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.  The Prosecution case was that the defendant had been the ‘inside man’ and laundered £1.2 million of stolen money through a luxury retail outlet in central London.  The jury was not sure that the defendant knew or suspected that the money was the proceeds of crime and returned a Not Guilty verdict.  Robert was instructed by Mary Monson Solicitors.
