The appeal was allowed because the trial judge erred in drawing the irresistible inference that the second applicant knew the US$10,000 payment was a bribe solely from his status as an experienced athlete and related primary facts; the primary facts proved at trial were insufficient to establish beyond reasonable doubt that the applicant knew the true nature of the payment, so the conviction could not stand.
