Questão jurídica principal
Whether the stolen check was proven to stem from a predicate property offense and a felony predicate for money laundering.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The court found the check had been taken from the post or sender by theft, not merely lost, so the predicate requirement for both offenses was met.
Fundamentação extraída
The loss could only have occurred through unlawful taking while the post had control of the item, and even on the alternative assumption that it disappeared earlier, theft rather than accidental loss remained the only plausible explanation.
