[2009] HCJAC 60

On a proper construction of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, it was not necessary, in respect of money laundering offences, to prove the specific offence from which criminal property had derived so long as the source was criminal; and the obligation to make disclosure did not require proof of actual money laundering, it arose in circumstances where there was suspicion, or reasonable cause to suspect, that this was taking place.
