Cash Forfeiture Success for Layna Thompson & LNL

Crime & Fraud Cases

Layna Thompson represented a shoe shop owner who was stopped at Gatwick Airport with £65,000 in cash in three different currencies and investigated for money laundering. Thanks to Layna's thorough financial tracing/mapping and bank account analysis, our client was able to provide a legitimate explanation of the funds evidenced. Additionally, the Police took far too long to carry out their investigations expeditiously, and when Layna refused to consent to an additional detention hearing, the investigation was dropped and the cash is now in the process of being returned.
