Court dismissed conspiracy charge against agent for withholding commission due to contract disputes with property company.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the conspiracy charge against a real estate agent who withheld commissions from Finnish buyers due to disputes with the Spanish property company. The defendant argued that retaining the commission was justified by disagreements over commission calculation methods, while the prosecution claimed this constituted a conspiracy against buyers. The court ruled that the defendant's actions were a civil dispute regarding contract terms rather than an intent to harm buyers through conspiracy.
