On 14 January 2004 the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (New York), ruled on the appeal by the European Community and ten Member States in their case against the US cigarette manufacturers. The ruling confirmed the decision by the District Court to dismiss the case concerning the smuggling claims but also confirmed that the EC and Member States have the right to proceed with their money laundering claims in separate lawsuits. |
