Christopher Whitehouse (led by Kate Lumsdon KC) together secure acquittal against the National Crime Agency in international money laundering and cryptocurrency case.
The defence successfully deployed section 78 arguments to exclude all the evidence from a world-leading cryptocurrency exchange, through which criminal property had allegedly been laundered.
The defence argued that the exchange’s refusal to cooperate with the Crown Court (and its location outside the jurisdiction) prevented the defence from properly challenging the evidence, and also prevent the Crown from complying with its duty of disclosure.
Instructed by Andy Lee at Reeds Solicitors.
