Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated the accusation principle by convicting the defendant for money laundering despite the wording of the indictment
Extracted holding
No. The indictment sufficiently described the laundering conduct and the defendant could prepare his defence; the court only corrected who had sold the cocaine, not the laundering offence itself.
Extracted reasoning
The changed finding did not introduce a new offence or a new unlawful origin of the funds. The defendant had been informed that he was accused of hiding money from cocaine trafficking and moving it to another place.
