Criminal Law [2023] UGHCACD 8

Uganda v Ezeh Chukuebuka

Uganda v Ezeh Chukuebuka (Criminal Session Case 6 of 2023) [2023] UGHCACD 8 (4 October 2023)

The court found that the accused's possession of USD 289,980 was intentional but not criminal, as he voluntarily disclosed the money and requested to declare it to customs. The prosecution failed to establish that the funds were proceeds of crime or that the accused had knowledge of such at the time of receipt.
