KCC 1185/2021
This case involved whether there was suitable evidence of money laundering and financing a terrorist organisation.
Background
The office of public prosecution accused five defendants of funding the ISIS organization and money laundering. The office requested the court to penalise the defendants according the relevant laws. The office also accused another defendant of transferring the money in violation to the commercial licence.
The court acquitted the defendants.
The office appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
The office appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. The office said in its grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law and had insufficient evidence of causation. The office said that the court had established the ruling on the grounds that the case documents lacked solid evidence although the evidence existed.
Decision
The court said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the court had considered all aspects of the case properly and established the ruling on the grounds of solid evidence. The court said that the elements of the crime had not existed in this case.
The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed ruling.
