Manhattan Fraud Attorney Ronald Kliegerman
Money laundering charges are almost never by themselves. Rather, this allegation is often brought along with other criminal allegations such as fraud, drug trafficking or other serious crimes. In many cases, prosecutors bring money laundering charges in an attempt to gain leverage over a defendant. In any event, the penalties for federal money laundering charges are significant. In many cases, prosecutors bring forfeiture proceedings alongside money laundering accusations. Civil forfeiture proceedings can create financial hardship and hinder one's ability to mount a strong defense.
