Money Laundering 

International Criminal Defense Lawyer Defending Against Money Laundering Charges

Money laundering has become a new focus of the FBI and Attorney General's office because of its occasional role in allegedly supporting terrorism. Not only are more money laundering charges being levied by the federal government, they are devoting more resources toward getting quick convictions. Therefore, if you are facing allegations of money laundering, it is essential to contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.

Federal and International Money Laundering Defense

For a criminal defense lawyer, few cases are more complex and challenging than those involving international money laundering charges. Frank Rubino has handled many such cases, and is well-known for his work in both United States federal courts and international courts. He handles federal and international money laundering charges involving:

  • Alleged Patriot Act violations
  • Illegal wire transfers
  • Financial transactions involving proceeds of unlawful activity
  • Other illegal transactions
  • Federal criminal appeals involving money laundering

Aggressive Defense of Money Laundering and Associated Federal Charges

Frequently, money laundering charges are made in conjunction with additional federal charges. For example, Attorney Rubino has dealt with money laundering charges in his defense of those accused of international drug trafficking and importation. Mr. Rubino has won many acquittals in such cases, including one that involved 220 kilos of cocaine. (See Mr. Rubino's list of Notable Cases.)

While money laundering charges are often perceived as related with drug crimes, they are more frequently related with business-related crimes. For example, money laundering charges may be associated with illegal funds obtained through business fraud, mortgage fraud/real estate fraud schemes or other white collar crimes.

Frank Rubino is experienced defending clients facing serious money laundering charges as well as combating asset forfeiture that may result following the illegal transactions. In addition, he is known for his experience representing clients in federal criminal appeals.
