good lad.Only just seen this. My guess is that proving the boxers had knowledge or suspicion would be difficult in practise. The likes of Macklin, anyone supposedly involved in the business side, perhaps a different case.Sklar wrote: ↑06 Jun 2018, 13:31The key words in the Proceeds of Crime Act relating to money laundering and my example are "knows or suspects". i.e. if it can be shown that the alleged offender knows or suspects that the criminal property e.g. money he has in his possession is laundered money, he would likely be ordered to put his hand in his pocket.Stuarty wrote: ↑06 Jun 2018, 13:23Wouldn't have thought so mate. Gangsters over my way all own car washes, laundrettes, barbers, scrap yards etc etc... The law dont chase their employees for the dough. 9 times out of 10 when a criminal confiscation order is enforced they only manage to get a small fraction from the person in question. ive never known any employees to get hassled for money nor should they.Sklar wrote: ↑06 Jun 2018, 13:06 Here's a question for the lawyers.
Hypothetical example...
A criminal organisation is shown to have laundered money through boxing shows, gyms and similar and a repossession order is enforced, would boxers who were paid with that money have to repay it even if that was their only link to criminality?
Maybe boxing is different but I doubt it....
I've got an ex-copper who was a POCA guy when he was on the force, ill probably give him a call in the morning and run it past him, he owes me one or two.
