Court dismissed appeal against conviction for defamation, upholding first instance judgment on facts and law.

The court dismissed the defendant's appeal, maintaining the first instance judgment that convicted him of defamation. The prosecution alleged the defendant published false accusations against a journalist and others online to damage their reputation, while the defendant argued he lacked the specific intent required for the crime. The appellate court found the first instance court's evaluation of evidence logical and consistent with legal standards, rejecting the claim that the lower court misinterpreted the statutory elements of the offense.
