Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court partially allowed the prosecution's request to shift court costs to the defendants, R. W. and K. W., and their associates. While some defendants had assets, the court noted that others relied on small pensions, had dependents, or faced risks of asset seizure abroad. Consequently, the court ordered each defendant to pay only a portion of the costs, balancing the need for recovery with the defendants' actual financial capacity.
