Italy’s Court of Cassation upholds attempted money-laundering conviction tied to online poker
Italy’s Court of Cassation rejected an appeal against a conviction for attempted money laundering involving online poker accounts and chip dumping, leaving a prison term of one year and four months in place. The court said the failed withdrawal did not rule out an attempt because the account was blocked for reasons outside the defendant’s control.
The decision confirms that a blocked withdrawal can still support an attempted money-laundering conviction involving online poker.
