Question juridique clé
Whether the confiscated funds were proven to originate from a crime and thus be subject to confiscation under Art. 70 CP.
Solution extraite
Yes. The funds were shown to derive from serious criminal conduct, and the causal link required for confiscation was satisfied.
Motifs extraits
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.
