Accomplished Criminal Defense Attorneys Fight For The Rights and Interests of Clients Facing Money Laundering Charges Across New Jersey

In New Jersey, money laundering is a serious felony-level crime. Sometimes mistakenly believed to be less serious than criminal charges for the activity underlying money laundering itself, the consequences are severe for a money laundering conviction, including significant jail time. Frequently, money laundering charges often adjoin other charges related to the alleged underlying criminal activity through which the money that was “cleaned” had originally been procured. The New Jersey Money Laundering Defense Lawyers at Team Law are here to support you through the difficulties and nuances of the legal process when facing money laundering charges in NJ. Contact us today for a free consultation: 1-800-TEAM-LAW.

A money laundering conviction may equal significantly more prison time because any prison sentence based on a money laundering conviction must be served consecutively to any prison sentence based on the underlying offense.

Elements Of Money Laundering Charges

In New Jersey, money laundering convictions occur when the prosecution proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the funds or property in question were obtained via some type of criminal activity and that the proceeds of that criminal activity were used in a way that was intended to conceal the fact that they originated from illegal conduct. Under the New Jersey money laundering statute, the elements of money laundering are as follows:

Money laundering crimes, while always serious crimes, can be graded as either a first, second or third-degree offense primarily based upon the value of the money or property that was “cleaned” in the scheme. Regardless of the exact grade, there is potential jail time and monetary fines if convicted for money laundering.

If your case involved $500,000 or more and is graded as a first-degree offense, your prison sentence could be as long as 20 years if convicted.  Conviction for second-degree money laundering can carry between five and ten years in prison and third-degree offenses can result in three to five years in jail.  Because judges have significant discretion in determining the appropriate sentence in your case, a skilled defense lawyer can present evidence of mitigating circumstances that could support a sentence at the lowest end of the applicable scale even if you have been convicted of money laundering.

Frequently Asked Questions About Money Laundering Charges In New Jersey

FAQ: What are the monetary fines associated with a conviction for money laundering?

The amount of the fine will depend upon the severity of the crime. First-degree money laundering convictions carry a fine of $150,000 or up to three times the value of the money or property that was laundered, while third-degree offenses can carry up to $15,000 in fines or up to three times the value of the money or property that was laundered.

FAQ: Can pre-trial intervention or another New Jersey diversionary program help me avoid a conviction for money laundering?

First-time offenders may be able to participate in the pre-trial intervention program in lieu of prosecution, potential conviction, and jail, but only if the money laundering charges are graded as a third-degree offense. In some cases, our lawyers may be able to negotiate with the prosecution to have second-degree charges downgraded to third-degree charges depending upon the circumstances.
