CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION MONEY LAUNDERING
The criminal accusation of money laundering according to § 261 german criminal code is severe.
A sucessful defence does not only require solid knowledge of the law, but also diplomacy skills, a keen sense for everyone involved in the investigations and practical experience.
A suspicion of money laundering can be based on unusual transfers in banking accounts, cashing in or out, conversion into cryptos, webmoney etc. The background oftentimes is: buying or selling real estate, money transfer from other countries, recieving money from unknown persons, problems with custom declaration and so on.
Police summons (Vorladung als Beschuldigter/Anhörung)
Sometimes you will get the initial info about a problem with money laundering from your bank. In larger cases the police will serach your house to gather evidence. In most cases you will get informed about ongoing investigations when you receive a letter from the police or public prosecutor.
Important advice: Do not respond.
Only by not responding all ways and chances of responding later will still be available for your lawyer.
Hire a lawyer who is specialized in money laundering cases
If police summons or any other letter from police or prosecutor, house search or accusation („Anklageschrift“): Your lawyer will give you advice, control the communication and request the investigation file from the prosecutor´s office.
The golden rule when being accused: Remain silent.
When your lawyer has read, analyzed and discussed the file with you und besprochen hat, he will elaborate the optimal strategy of defence for you.
Proceedings terminated or trial at court?
Your lawyer will check the files and find out, if there is a good argument against the reported evidence will try to achieve a termination of the criminal investigations. According to the situation regarding the evidence and the law your lawyer will try everything possible to prevent a trial at court, a conviction and an entry in the records („Führungszeugnis“).
In case that the public prosecutor insists on bringing the case to court, your defence will be prepared, aiming at a minor penalty or an acquittal.
Defending at the court
Preparing the defence at court means informing you about the proceedings, preparing you according to the strategy chosen and getting ready to response quickly to any situation.
It is critically important to decide for the best strategic path: Remain silent at court or say something about the accusations, and if: how?
At court your lawyer will aks witnesses, check documents and discuss relevant legal aspects with the court and prosecutor. He will use his expertise to reach the strategic goal.

MONEY LAUNDERING – WHAT THREATENS?
The normal case of money laundering will be punished with prison up to five years or a fine; § 261 Absatz 1 StGB.
In severe cases of money laundering the result will be prison from six months to ten years; § 261 Absatz StGB.
Negligent money laundering will be punished with up to two years of prison or a fine ; § 261 Absatz 6 StGB.
However: Not every investigation in a suspected money laundering case ends with a conviction at court.
As lawyers for money laundering cases in Berlin and german-wide we defend our clients with resolution, providence and knowledge, so that we can soften or even completely prevent negative consequences for our clients.
One major negative consequence of any criminal conviction where the defendant has received money or other assets – which is the case in nearly all money laundering cases – is the obligation to pay that money back. That means all the received money, even when the money has been transfered to someone else.
Our primary goal is to convince the public prosecutor to terminate the proceedings due to lack of evidence and thereby preserve our clients money.
