Solicitor Launders Drug Money, Loses Career
Update: 2026-01-01
Description
Paul Green, a forty-seven-year-old former solicitor, was disbarred after laundering his brothers drug money through a fake life coaching business. He posed as a successful coach, even keeping a fake diary to explain the cash influx. The scheme began in 2010 when Green took out a £166,000 mortgage, lying about his intentions. His brother James funneled drug money through bank deposits and direct debits between 2010 and 2015. The police discovered the fraud in 2018 during a raid, finding over £340,000 in cash, silver, and watches. Green served 26 months in prison for fraud and money laundering, while James served six years for drugs and fraud. The Solicitors Regulation Authority permanently banned Green, imposing £3,000 in costs to protect the public and the professions reputation.
