The Legal Process for Financial Crime

Understanding the process can help reduce the stress of money laundering charges, which are serious financial crimes with significant implications for organised crime and regulatory compliance. Here’s what to expect:


Charges and Court Proceedings If enough evidence is found, charges will be laid and court proceedings will start. This may include preliminary hearings, plea negotiations, and a trial. The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act (AML/CTF) plays a crucial role in the legal process, emphasising the importance of regulatory frameworks and international collaboration to combat money laundering and terrorism financing.

Potential Penalties and Outcomes The penalties for money laundering in Queensland are significant. If you’re found guilty of knowingly money laundering you could get up to 20 years in jail or a fine of up to $399,000. If you’re found guilty of recklessly money laundering the maximum penalty is 10 years in jail or a fine of up to $199,500.
