Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the acquittal on qualified money laundering should be overturned
Decisione estratta
No. The appeal was dismissed; the money-laundering acquittal stood.
Motivazione estratta
The alleged acts were in any event time-barred because the conduct did not meet the requirements for the qualified form relied on by the prosecution. The court also upheld the lower court's view that the charged transactions did not warrant a conviction on the record before it.
