Subject of Dispute: Legalization (Laundering) of Funds Obtained through Criminal Means in the Case of the Director of LLC “KOLPRO”.
Main Arguments of the Court: The Supreme Court established that the courts of previous instances improperly examined the evidence in the case, in particular, they unreasonably recognized the specialist’s conclusion as inadmissible and did not take into account that a person may be held liable for money laundering even after being released from liability for the predicate crime. The court pointed out the formal approach of the appellate court, which did not conduct an in-depth analysis of the case circumstances and evidence.
Court Decision: To cancel the ruling of the Sumy Appellate Court and assign a new review of the case in the appellate instance with a detailed examination of all circumstances of the proceedings.
