Police have charged a 54-year-old woman after an investigation into money laundering between Australia and Asia.
The Mount Pleasant woman allegedly set up a wine exportation business in the South West to launder cash to Asia.
Officers allegedly seized 16 Asian passports, jewellery and cash and analysed hundreds of financial transactions during the course of the investigation.
The investigation involved key stakeholders including the Australian Taxation Office, the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, and Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC).
The woman has been charged with money laundering, improper possession of a foreign travel document and two counts of unlawful possession.
