Money Laundering Lobbying at the Law Society
Law Society Press Release
10 August 2006
The government appears to be adopting a practical and sensible
approach to the latest money laundering directive from Brussels.
In its consultation on the implementation of the Third European
Money Laundering Directive, the government indicates that it will
not make amendments to the Proceeds of Crime Act that would erode
legal professional privilege. Fiona Woolf, Law Society president,
said these proposals hopefully mark an end to the era of
gold-plating EU legislation.
