Money Laundering is the process of concealing the source of money obtained by criminal activities. In simple terms money laundering offences occur in three steps, first cash is introduced into the financial system by some means (placement), the second involves carrying out complex financial transactions in order to camouflage the illegal source (layering), and the final step entails acquiring wealth generated from the transactions of the criminal funds (integration)

Confiscation Proceedings

Confiscation hearings take place after a defendant has been convicted and sentenced. The Crown ProsecutionService (CPS) make an application to seek to confiscate your assets, claiming those assets to be criminal property that you have acquired and/or benefitted through your criminal activities.
