Questão jurídica principal
Whether a professional money courier falls within Art. 305ter(1) StGB's offender circle.
Decisão extraída
Yes. His combined activities amounted to a financial service and thus fell within the provision's scope.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 305ter(1) StGB covers persons in the financial sector, not only classic bankers. The defendant did more than transport cash: he exchanged it, deposited it, and transferred it onward. In their totality, these acts were a financial transaction.
