Count * - Concealing, disguising, or  converting criminal property

Concealing, disguising, or converting criminal property is a criminal offence.

Property (such as cash) is “criminal property” if it is the benefit from – the result of -  the commission of criminal offences or represents such a benefit (in whole or in part, directly, or indirectly).  The criminal offence need not have been committed by the defendant himself.

This offence is only committed if the defendant knew or suspected that the property was the benefit of criminal offences.

The prosecution say that the money found *** is the result of drug dealing.  D** says

Keeping cash received from the sale of drugs at premises away from the location of the actual dealing amounts to “concealing, disguising or converting”.

So, the key questions for you to answer in relation to Count *, having regard to all the evidence and the directions which I give you, are

Are you sure that that the cash was the result of drug dealing?

Are you sure that D** knew or suspected that at least some of that cash was directly or indirectly the result of drug dealing? 

If the answer to both questions is “yes”, he is guilty of Count *.  If the answer to either question is “no”, he is not guilty of Count *.
