Lying husband

Where would you go from here ?
Changing things up a bit here as I feel very anxious:
Husband works as a professional trader, own business, quite sucessfull.
I do all admin and business managment tasks from home.
I suspected he was temporarily keeping small items from other companys he sometimes works for and hiring them out for his own profit... he denied this.
I still suspected, so pushed with my thoughts.
I have now found out that I was right all along. He only confessed because I enventually found proof after hours of searching.
I instantly said I would no longer do any work for his business.

History: he was arrested and sent to prison many years ago for something similar and I have felt shame from this ever since. I always worried prople may think I was involved and I wasn't.
We have 3 DC together, all have additional needs.
I manage everything at home, all bills, cleaning, childcare, organising etc...I do have autism though and this makes me struggle with communication and question my own judgement at times. So please be kind with your advice.

I already know what I need to do I think I just need a little bit of support, I struggle to talk to others in RL.

@springtimeishere firstly massive squishes. I can understand your fear of being associated and anger at him yet again doing something stupid, risky not to mention illegal that could impact the business and his families income. No advice really other than - yes I think you know what to do. Has he no remorse at all about it or any reason for doing it? Does he understand police etc could think you were complicit and aware of him doing it and also face arrest?

Thank you for replying.
Yea he understands now that Ive caught him out and questioned him all about it.

He's massively remorseful and keeps crying and begging for forgiveness, this is only angering me and I don't want to be worn down. I want to think of my children and myself.
In honesty he is either stupid or has kleptomania. I say this because he had no need to do what he was doing. He can't understand it himself.
It's almost as if he's shocked too.

It's okay, I do know what to do I just need to work out how, and I will.
The crazy thing is we are such good friends normally (together for 26 years) so it's difficult for us both to process. I just need strength to see it though.
