    CACC307/2016

    The Court allowed the appeal because the trial judge's critical inferences that the appellant personally and knowingly operated the accounts were based on misinterpretation of bank documents and speculative assumptions (eg misreading notations, assuming simultaneous ATM withdrawals required two persons present). The evidence as a whole did not prove the requisite guilty mind for money laundering beyond reasonable doubt; convictions and sentence were therefore unsafe and were quashed.
