[2004] EWCA Crim 2936

Erroneous advice about length of sentence and the likely course of confiscation proceedings did not invalidate a plea of guilty. Actual suspicion of money laundering was adequate to found a conviction for conspiracy on a guilty plea since the plea amounted to an acknowledgement of each ingredient of the offence including the necessary state of mind.
