R v RG – Norwich Crown Court

21.03.2022

Hannah represented one client charged jointly with her husband with money laundering, alongside another couple also charged with money laundering, with each couple said to have laundered around £200,000 each.

Hannah worked closely with counsel for the other defendants and prosecuting counsel to negotiate a plea on a limited basis for each husband where they accepted laundering half the amount of money suggested by the Crown, and no evidence would be offered against each of the wives. Following an indication from the court that on such a basis the husbands would each receive a suspended sentence, the husbands pleaded guilty to money laundering charges, and thereafter the Crown offered no evidence against Hannah’s client.

Hannah was instructed by Janice Young of Youngs Solicitors.
