Exchange Chambers Barristers in successful money laundering prosecution
Paul Taylor and Kevin Slack, barristers at Exchange Chambers, have successfully prosecuted Preston Council's former deputy leader Frank McGrath who has been found guilty of money laundering for a Class A drug trafficker.
Frank McGrath, 59, has been convicted unanimously of nine counts of concealing, converting or disguising criminal property for Silvano Turchet, 55, a man who was convicted in February 2007 of trafficking class A drugs.
The charges the ex-Labour councillor was convicted of relate to around £330,000 he gave to Turchet between January 2004 and November 2006.
The court had heard the money was used towards the purchase of a house at Jarvis Way, Wrexham, for Turchet's then mistress, a piece of land in Italy, a hangar where he stored an aeroplane used to import drugs and a £17,000 designer watch.
McGrath, who has no previous convictions, is expected to be sentenced next Wednesday. The trial, before Judge Robert Atherton, has lasted more than five weeks.
