Julian Green, of Prittlewell Close, Ipswich, pleaded not guilty to three charges when he appeared at the town’s crown court for his plea and case management hearing.

The offences cover a six-year period dating back to 2004.

Green is now due to stand trial later this year.

The first accusation relates to converting criminal property between February 7, 2005, and July 21, 2010.

Green is accused of converting criminal property in the form of foreign currency into £11,481.54 in sterling knowing it to represent the benefit from criminal conduct.

He is also charged with transferring criminal property between January 7, 2004 and September 22, 2010.

Green is alleged to have deposited £39,906.06 into bank accounts knowing, or suspecting, it to constitute the benefit from criminal conduct.

The third offence is one of theft, and is said to have taken place on September 12 last year. It is alleged Green stole £978.65 which belonged to Royal Mail Group Limited.

Warwick Tatford, prosecuting on behalf of Royal Mail Group Limited, made an application to Judge John Devaux for the matter to be put off until later in the year in order for the prosecution to prepare for trial.

Judge Devaux agreed to set a date of October 21 for the next hearing. Green was told his trial, which is likely to last seven days, was provisionally scheduled to take place on December 5.

Green was released on unconditional bail until the next hearing of his case.
