Question juridique clé
Whether money laundering proceeds from pre-2006 foreign passive bribery satisfy the double-punishability requirement of Art. 305bis n. 3 CP
Solution extraite
Yes. The Court held that abstract, not concrete, double punishability applies, so laundering proceeds from foreign passive bribery committed before 1 July 2006 remains punishable in Switzerland.

The Court relied on its recent case law and rejected the argument that the predicate offence had to be punishable under Swiss law in the exact foreign configuration alleged by the appellant.
