Money Laundering Bulletin
Criminal property – definitively defined?
The amorphous boundary between a predicate offence and a money laundering offence has been diligently plotted out in case
law since the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 came into force, but, as David McCluskey and Charlotte Tregunna of Peters & Peters

the Supreme Court had the opportunity to consider the boundary between the two.
