Court of Appeal refuses DPP's application to have a sentence for money laundering reviewed, on the grounds that: (a) while the sentence was very lenient, it was not so lenient as to be significantly outside the norm; and (b) the sentencing judge acted within his legitimate discretion in seeking to prioritise the reformation of the respondent, and partial suspension of the post-mitigation sentence was not excessive, albeit it was very generous.
Offence: money laundering
Original sentence: three years with 18 months suspended
Appeal by: prosecution (statutory application)
Outcome: application refused
