The Ministry of Justice publishes information on the number of defendants who received prosecutions and convictions for the offence of money laundering, for the years 2017-2021 in the Outcomes by Offence data tool 2021 (file too large to be attached), and for the years 2010-2016 in the Outcomes by Offence tool 2020 (attached).

However, the number of defendants who received a prosecution or conviction for money laundering offences specific to the domestic and corporate property sector is not held centrally in the Court Proceedings database. This information may be held on court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate cost.
