- High Court
The Judge acquitted the defendants because the Crown failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt the essential elements of the charged offences — specifically that the transactions and accounting entries were dishonestly executed or concealed in breach of RBNZ directions with the necessary criminal intent; factual characterisations offered by the Crown did not meet the required standard of proof.
