The Supreme Court dismissed the defendant's appeal against a district court conviction for drug trafficking involving codeine-containing medication imported via mail. The prosecution argued the defendant illegally brought the substance into Finland, while the defense contested the sufficiency of the evidence proving the illegal nature of the import. The court ruled that the prosecution failed to establish the necessary conditions for a criminal conviction under the relevant drug trafficking provisions.
