Dallas Money Laundering Lawyer

Fort Worth Asset Forfeiture Attorney

Money laundering is a criminal charge that often accompanies other criminal charges relating to drug crimes, white collar financial crimes, tax fraud and real estate crimes. Money laundering involves a series of business transactions to "clean" or conceal the origin of funds.

Under the 1986 Money Laundering Control Act, anyone who conducts or attempts to conduct a financial transaction with the intent to facilitate or encourage an illegal activity can face fines of up to $500,000 or twice the value of the assets involved and/or a prison sentence of up to 20 years.

Transportation of cash and asset forfeiture: Police stopping cars along Texas highways are looking for two things: drugs going north and money going south. If the police find large sums of money in a vehicle, that money may be seized on suspicion that it has been obtained from a drug crime. Whatever law enforcement unit seizes the money can keep it under Texas asset forfeiture laws unless you contest the seizure.
