006 F PC 186.10 MONEY LAUNDERING

007 F PC 186.10 MONEY LAUNDERING

with these charges and no arrest to date. Is there a statute of limitation in California?



Answer

The statute of limitations begins to run when a crime is committed. It stops running when charges are filed. It has nothing to do with arrest. All you have given us is a list of charges. You have not told us when they were committed, or when the charges were filed. So your post is legally meaningless.



Answer

The statute of limitations has to do with how long the prosecution has to file charges. On general on most felonies it's three years, but it can be longer or only begin to run upon discovery of certain kinds of fraud or embezzlement crimes.

If charges are filed, it's time for the defendant to get an attorney - either to explore the statute if limitations issue or defend the case.

You need a good criminal defense attorney. I'd strongly suggest you find someone who focuses on criminal law and who routinely practices in the court where this case will be heard.
