AI generatedThe court found the defendant guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol and sentenced him to a daily fine, a three-year driving ban, and a victim compensation payment. The prosecution argued for a penalty based on the defendant's blood alcohol level between 0.8 and 1.2 per mille, while the defense likely contested the severity or financial burden. The court balanced the need for general and individual prevention against the defendant's financial situation, resulting in a moderate fine and the minimum required compensation.
