The jury in the Trevor Baines money laundering trial continues to consider its verdicts this morning.

The seven jurors began their deliberations yesterday, after Acting Deemster Birkett finished summing up three weeks of evidence relating to complex financial transactions.

Mr Baines is accused of laundering $175 million in Isle of Man banks, accrued dishonestly by the directors of an American software firm.

Together with his wife, Wendy, he is also charged with false accounting.

All the allegations are denied, with Mr Baines telling the court it never occurred to him that trust funds he played a leading part in moving to the Isle of Man included proceeds of crime.
