Italy’s Court of Cassation rejects appeal in online poker money-laundering case
Italy’s Court of Cassation declared inadmissible an appeal against a conviction for attempted money laundering linked to online poker and chip dumping. The court said the failed withdrawal did not prevent the conduct from qualifying as an attempt, as the account was blocked for reasons beyond the defendant’s control.
The decision confirms that failed withdrawals do not necessarily prevent attempted money laundering charges in online poker cases.
