A MAN accused of being involved in money laundering is to face trial by judge and jury.

Anthony Hughes also denied a charge of acquiring criminal property in the form of £17,158 in cash when he appeared at Swindon Crown Court.

It is alleged that the 45-year-old, of Theobald Street, allowed his bank account to be used for the transfer of the money between August 2014 and June last year.

Judge Tim Mousley QC adjourned the case to Tuesday, August 16, and released Hughes on bail until then.
