AI generated

The court acquitted the co-defendant P. Z. of charges of fraud under Article 286 of the Criminal Code. While the defendant initially denied involvement, he later admitted to the crimes but claimed he acted alone without his brother's knowledge. The court found the prosecution's evidence insufficient to prove his specific role because witnesses could not identify him, lacked objective forensic data linking him to the accounts, and his co-defendant's testimony was unreliable due to alcohol influence.
