Criminal restitution appeal partially allowed; High Court reduces fine due to procedural delay but upholds core finding of illicit gains.

The High Court of the Netherlands partially allowed the cassation appeal, reducing the restitution amount from €515,000 to €510,000 while rejecting the challenge to the underlying finding of illicit casino winnings. The defendant argued the court erred in calculating the benefit derived from gambling profits, but the court confirmed the lower court's logic that these winnings were net results of losses and wins. The reduction was granted solely because the trial court failed to meet the reasonable time requirement under Article 6 of the ECHR due to late submission of documents.
