A solicitor also attended our client&#8217;s police interview where they told her she was an &#8220;import&#8221; and had no clue what her husband was up to. This statement assisted our client&#8217;s case in establishing that she had no knowledge. We provided substantial material showing the provenance of the money in our client&#8217;s bank account and what she knew of her husband&#8217;s business and income earning activities at the time she moved in with him after they were married.
