Discharge-stage scrutiny in a money-laundering prosecution is confined to whether the available material creates a strong suspicion reasonably connecting the accused with the alleged offence; it does not permit a roving enquiry or trial-level weighing of evidence. Statements indicating that funds were arranged and delivered at a co-accused's request, rather than through ordinary business, together with the absence of contemporaneous proof of goods supplied, supported the allegation.
