The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against a lower court's finding that the client did not participate in the illegal importation of drugs. The client had admitted to handing over drug shipments in Amsterdam in exchange for cash but argued this did not constitute participation in the importation into Finland. The court ruled that the evidence showed the client's actions were limited to the export transaction and did not demonstrate involvement in the cross-border smuggling operation itself.
