Oronsaye was discharged and acquitted of a money laundering charge.

Justice Ekwo that though the prosecution initially entered a 49-count charge against him, it subsequently withdrew 22 of them upon realising that they were not only baseless but also not supported by any evidence.

The trial began in 2015 with the arraignment of Oronsaye alongside the Managing Director of Fedrick Hamilton Global Services Limited, Osarenkhoe Afe, when they were docked on 49 counts charge bordering on fraud.
