Key legal question
Whether the confiscated funds were proven to originate from a crime and thus be subject to confiscation under Art. 70 CP.
Extracted holding
Yes. The funds were shown to derive from serious criminal conduct, and the causal link required for confiscation was satisfied.
Extracted reasoning
The court found that the funds stemmed from large-scale embezzled amounts and were transferred through a classic laundering structure. Strict proof of the exact predicate offence is not required in money-laundering cases.
