Prosecutors will drop charges against Canberra lawyer Bridie Harders, who was charged with conspiracy to deal with the proceeds of crime last year alongside her boss Ben Aulich.
Mr Aulich was also charged with recruiting people to engage in criminal activity.
Upon her arrest, Ms Harders was described by police as a member of the legal community and a "close associate" of Mr Aulich, and she was also charged with dealing with proceeds of crime and money laundering.
But on advice, prosecutors confirmed with the ABC that they would drop charges against Ms Harders — a legal partner at the Aulich law firm — because they have no chance of success.
