Australian Federal Police said a man, 49, and a woman, 46, laundered money via hundreds of cash deposits at bank branches and ATMs across NSW, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia in 2022. The deposits were allegedly kept below $10,000 in a bid to avoid detection by authorities. A search of a Hope Island property and solicitor’s office on the Gold Coast found $1.95 million in cash and $425,000 in cryptocurrency in December 2023, AFP said. Substantial financial records were also located. The man and woman have each been charged with three counts of dealing in the proceeds of crime with money or property worth more than $1 million.
