agree  Tom Thumb: except it's called handling these days...
23 mins
  -> Thanks, yes, true for E&W, but the German term appears to be "receiving" so I don't see any need to convert the term to anything else
agree  Ioana Claudia Popa, DMD, PhD
7 hrs
  -> thanks
agree  Andrew Swift
9 hrs
  -> thanks
agree  Kim Metzger: Seems to cover the bases, but I wonder if it wouldn't be best to include the "gang" aspect somewhere.
15 hrs
  -> yes, a good point, but "jointly" would cover this in English law

"for having joined a gang (dealing with stolen goods) by fencing the BMW---" would make things clearer.

to my thinking it´s not only about receiving, but also about selling a stolen car (which in German would be "bedenklicher Ankauf"

neutral  AllegroTrans: I cannot see any reference to "joining a gang" (which is not a crime per se)// "fencing" is not a term used for a criminal offence, and your phrase makes no sense in English
7 mins
  -> no, but fencing a stolen car - is the crime. I´ve added additional links which are self explanatory.
disagree  Kim Metzger: "for having joined a gang ...by fencing the BMW" doesn't make sense in English.
