Question juridique clé
Whether the lower courts violated the presumption of innocence or misallocated the burden of proof in finding the defendant knew the goods were illicit.
Solution extraite
No; the complaint was merely appellatory and did not show arbitrariness in the lower courts' assessment.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court found no indication that the defendant was convicted because he failed to prove his innocence; the lower judgments were based on evidence appraisal, not an impermissible burden shift.
