How Should You Handle Money Laundering Cases?

It’s true that money laundering is a

somewhat complex matter. So, that being

the case, what do you do during a money

laundering trial? How do you explain the

concept of money laundering and all the

things it entails clearly enough that a jury

can decide a person’s guilt or innocence? An

anti-money laundering expert witness can

explain it for them.


Qualifying as an Anti-Money Laundering Expert Witness

• In order to qualify as an expert witness in the United States, first you may need specialized training and/or practical experience in the field in which you’re expected to testify.

• There are even universities who offer graduate programs in money laundering risk management. Any of these things could qualify someone to give expert testimony before the court in money laundering.


The Role of an Anti-Money Laundering Expert Witness

• In the UK, an expert witness must be an independent third party, and any instructions given to them must be agreed upon by both sides of the case.

• In the U.S., however, an expert witness may be hired by one side or the other.

• They are given the facts of the case and allowed to examine the evidence, in order to formulate an opinion. Then, they use the evidence to compile a written report on the matter at hand.


The Role of an Anti-Money Laundering Expert Witness

• If the case moves forward, they may be called upon to testify during pre-trial discovery as well as in the trial itself.

• They’ll discuss the facets of money laundering and how they relate to this particular case, to clarify it for the jury.

• Then they’ll undergo cross examination from the opposition and defend their position.
