Syytetty oli eri tilaisuuksissa erehdyttänyt asianomistajan ostamaan aitoina kultaesineinä epäjaloa metallia olevia koruja ja kelloja, joihin oli lyöty kultapitoisuusleimoja mukailevat merkit. Samalla kun syytetty tuomittiin rangaistukseen jatketusta petoksesta, kauppojen kohteena olleet takavarikoidut esineet, joita asianomistaja vaati itselleen, tuomittiin rikoksentekovälineinä valtiolle menetetyiksi. Asianomistajalla todettiin olevan oikeus saada vahingonkorvaus, jota ei saada rikoksentekijältä, esineiden arvosta, jos hän nostaa siitä kanteen RL 2:16/4 mukaisesti. Niiltä osin kuin syyte jäi näyttämättä, esineet määrättiin palautettaviksi asianomistajalle.
