In the Royal Court on Friday, Steven Richard Goodwin pleaded guilty to making deposits of £596,893 worth of drug money into various bank branches in Jersey and transferring the funds between accounts in the Island and the UK in his own name or that of his business between 17 March 2006 and 31 December 2011.
In addition, Goodwin pleaded guilty to two counts of delivering an incorrect statement to the Comptroller of Income Tax as on two occasions between 2007 and 2008 he fraudulently failed to declare income that he had received from Bausch & Lomb Incorporated during 2006 and 2007.
Goodwin will also be sentenced for attempting to pervert the course of justice by falsifying entries on bank statements and presenting them to police officers on 11 December 2011 who were investigating a case relating to the seizure of 24,015 Euros from Jersey Postal Headquarters.
The 51-year-old was remanded in custody until 13 June when he will be sentenced by the Superior Number, which convenes for Jersey’s most serious cases.
