Legislator summary

AI generated

The court of appeal dismissed the prosecutor's request to compel the defendant to pay Swedish state costs for an alcohol test. The defendant had been convicted in Sweden for serious drunk driving, but the court found no evidence that the Finnish state had reimbursed the Swedish state for these expenses. Consequently, the defendant was released from the lower court's order to pay the costs directly to the foreign authority.

Syytetty oli Suomessa tuomittu Ruotsissa tehdystä törkeästä rattijuopumuksesta. Syytettyä ei voitu velvoittaa korvaamaan humalatilan tutkimuskustannuksia suoraan Ruotsin valtiolle.

Kun toisaalta ei ollut selvitetty, että Suomen valtio olisi korvannut Ruotsin valtiolle syytetyn humalatilan tutkimuskuluja, syyttäjän vaatimus syytetyn velvoittamisesta korvaamaan mainitut kulut hylättiin ja syytetty vapautettiin kihlakunnanoikeuden määräämästä sanotusta korvausvelvollisuudesta.
