The office of public prosecution accused a defendant of money laundering. The office requested the court to penalize the defendant according to the relevant laws.

The court acquitted the defendant.

The office appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court dismissed the appealed ruling and ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for four years and should pay a fine of 4750 Dinars.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. He said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law. He said that the elements of the crime did not exist in his case.

The court said that this argument was valid. The court said that the case documents revealed that the elements of the crime of money laundering had not been existed in the defendant’s case.

The court repealed the appealed ruling.
