During the course of work on behalf of a client, a lawyer participated in the movement of money. If the lawyer suspects an act of money laundering, which of the following should the lawyer do according to European Union Money Laundering Directives?
Option B all the way! I mean, who wants to be the next Pablo Escobar's lawyer, am I right? Reporting suspicious activity is the only way to stay on the right side of the law. Unless, of course, you're into that whole 'money laundering' thing. In that case, I've got a great therapist to recommend!
Ah, the age-old dilemma of lawyer-client confidentiality versus legal obligations. I'd say B is the way to go, but I'd also have a really good lawyer on speed dial just in case the client gets, you know, 'upset'.
I'm gonna have to go with B on this one. If I suspect money laundering, I have a duty to report it. Although, I do wonder if the client would be cool with that... Guess we'll find out!
I'd be tempted to go with D and maintain business confidentiality, but that would be a big risk. Better to just fess up and let the authorities handle it, even if it means losing the client.
Hmm, I think the correct answer is B. Reporting the suspicious activity to the authorities seems like the responsible thing to do, even if it goes against the client's wishes.
