Money Mules & Bank Account Misuse

Understand Your Situation

Young people are often targeted to become 'money mules'. We fight to ensure a mistake doesn't ruin your career and financial future.

Defending Money Mule Allegations

Criminals often recruit students or vulnerable people to move stolen money through their bank accounts. You may have thought it was a legitimate job or a favour for a friend. However, the police treat this as money laundering.

We explain the context. If you were duped or coerced, we present this mitigation to the CPS to avoid prosecution. We also fight the long-term consequences, such as CIFAS markers, which prevent you from getting a bank account, phone contract, or student loan in the future. We aim to clear your name and your credit file.

Plan Your Defence

Exploitation vs Criminality

Many money mule cases involve elements of exploitation. We assess whether you fit the profile of a victim rather than a conspirator.

Legally, we challenge the element of suspicion. If the transaction looked genuine (e.g., a job ad on social media), we argue you lacked the necessary criminal intent. We engage early with the bank and police to prevent the matter escalating to court wherever possible.

Account Frozen?

Don't speak to the bank without advice. Contact us immediately.

Legal Aid Availability

For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.

Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
