Questão jurídica principal
Whether money laundering under Art. 305bis CP can be based on Swiss francs obtained in exchange for counterfeit notes and on their transfer abroad.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The counterfeit notes themselves are not patrimonial values, but the Swiss francs obtained in exchange are replacement assets that can be the object of laundering.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 305bis CP also covers indirect proceeds of a crime. The later cash withdrawal, re-crediting, and transfer were acts intended to impede tracing and confiscation of the criminal proceeds.
