Society raps report branding solicitors ‘corruption enablers’

In this year's National Strategic Assessment, its third annual analysis of the threat posed by serious and organised crime, the National Crime Agency identifies high-end money laundering as one of the top five threats for the year ahead and describes solicitors as ‘crucial to the laundering of illicit funds’.
