The court convicted the defendant of driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated and violating a lifetime driving ban. The prosecution argued that the defendant, previously sentenced for similar offenses, drove with blood alcohol levels exceeding 1.0 mg/l during the mandatory five-year prohibition period. The court upheld the conviction, imposing an eight-month prison sentence, a lifetime ban on driving, and a mandatory fine, citing the defendant's prior criminal record and the high level of intoxication as aggravating factors.
