What the Team is Known For

Red Lion Chambers is recognised for its strength in proceeds of crime and has highly regarded practitioners whose expertise runs the gamut of the subject. Members are regularly instructed to both defend and prosecute actions relating to confiscation and asset recovery, money laundering, and account freezing and forfeiture proceedings. Recently, members have been entrusted to prosecute a Metropolitan Police specialist cybercrime group investigation

into the international money laundering of enormous amounts of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency from a huge Ponzi investment scheme in China. The case involves the largest series of crypto seizures ever made in the UK.
