Miles Herman, a Solicitor Advocate and director of the practice, represented the Defendant charged with laundering monies of over £300,000.
Although a Guilty plea was tendered, it was on the basis that the Defendant was simply acting as a courier for others. The Crown Prosecution Service rejected that basis stating that they believed the Defendant to be involved in organised crime. As a result, a contested Newton Hearing took place before the Recorder of Southwark and the court following submissions made by Miles agreed with the Defence’s submissions and imposed on the Defendant a suspended sentence of imprisonment on that basis. The client was clearly delighted as he faced a significant prison sentence if the court had found in the Prosecution’s favour.
