The combination of criminal sanctions and professional disbarment would likely constitute the most appropriate punishment for any lawyer involved in misleading the court in such serious cases, hence serves as deterrent to other law practitioners

If the lawyer is complicit in the criminal breach of trust, the Penal Code Section 409 (CBT by a public servant, banker, merchant, or agent) provides for punishment up to 20 years imprisonment, a fine, and whipping.

Lawyers who attempt to mislead the court, particularly in a clear-cut case involving criminal breach of trust (CBT) and money laundering, face serious legal and ethical consequences. In such cases, where public funds are involved, and the argument centers around laundering for welfare purposes, the lawyer could still face sanctions, as the law does not permit such justifications.
