Top-Rated UK Criminal Fraud Defence Lawyers at Bark & Co Solicitors Appointed on a Private Basis by Emirati National in £100M International Money Laundering Charge
Our client was Abdulla Mohammad Ali Bin Beyat Al Falasi – an Emirati national suspected of being a key figure in an international money laundering network responsible for moving tens of millions of pounds out London to Dubai.
He was alleged to have organised travel arrangements for at least 26 couriers who between them have removed an estimated £100m criminal cash from the UK to Dubai.
Two of those couriers (a UK national and a Czech national) are already serving jail terms following investigations by the National Crime Agency (NCA), which has described the alleged network as one of the largest of its kind it has investigated.
We initially represented the client in relation to the NCA investigation, before he moved to be represented by another firm on who advised him to plead guilty to the charges.
The client has now returned to our Bark & Co Law Firm for us to represent him on a private basis in relation to the ensuing confiscation proceedings.
