The judge presiding over the case, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, on Monday found Okupe guilty of contravening sections 16(1) & (2) of the money laundering act and accepting cash in excess of the threshold allowed under the act without going through a financial institution, in excess of the threshold allowed under the act.
