The Svea Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal against the first-instance judgment imposing a one-year-six-month alternative sentence for drug offenses. The prosecution argued the penalty was proportionate to the severity of the crimes committed, while the defense contended the sentence was excessive. The court rejected the appeal, affirming that the lower court correctly applied the law and determined the alternative penalty was appropriate given the specific circumstances of the case.
