Where proved primary facts are limited, a trial judge must not draw inferential conclusions that amount to conjecture; on the facts the only reasonable inference that D5 knew the essential terms of the first and second conspiracies could not be sustained and those convictions were quashed, but the money‑laundering conviction under s.25(1) could be sustained on the basis that D5 had reasonable grounds to believe the funds were proceeds of an indictable offence; accomplice evidence was held sufficiently reliable on other counts to uphold remaining convictions.
