Court acquits car diagnostician of fraud due to unresolved doubts regarding vehicle defects and lack of legal inspection standards.

The court acquitted the defendant, a certified car diagnostician, of fraud for issuing a technical inspection certificate on a vehicle with visible safety defects. The prosecution alleged the car was unsafe due to rust, loose steering components, and brake line damage, but the defense argued that a diagnostician cannot disassemble a vehicle to find hidden faults and that no legal standard defines 'excessive' rust. The court ruled that since the defendant could not have detected internal damage without dismantling the car and no statutory criteria existed to judge the severity of the rust, reasonable doubt remained regarding his guilt.
