R –v- F - Defence of high profile money laundering prosecution…
ruling: case dismissed!

- Southwark Crown – 2003 - This high profile money laundering prosecution was brought following an undercover ‘sting’ operation, based in London and Gibraltar, which ran for nearly five years and during the course of which in excess of £15million is said to have been laundered.

A pre-trial abuse of process application based on entrapment was commenced on behalf of our client and two co-defendants in January 2002. This legal argument, which we believe to be the longest of its kind in legal history, was not concluded until July 2003, when His Honour Judge Bathurst Norman stayed the case against all defendants on a number of grounds. These included a ruling by the Judge that the police conduct had been ‘massively illegal’, that the operation amounted to ‘state created crime’ and that our client had been entrapped. The case and its conclusion attracted much high profile publicity.

Renowned for its formidable track record, Bark & Co Solicitors has successfully represented many of the most notable criminal defence cases to have hit the headlines in recent years.

We are constantly receiving new instructions and continue to play a crucial part in a significant number of the major litigations currently in progress. Click here to view More high profile legal cases represented by Bark & Co.
