The court found the defendant guilty of fraud for deceiving a buyer into purchasing a car worth 16,400 zł at a price of 26,100 zł by concealing major mechanical defects and odometer tampering. The defendant argued that the transaction was a standard commercial deal, but the court determined the intentional misrepresentation of the vehicle's condition constituted a direct intent to gain an unlawful financial advantage. Consequently, the court imposed a fine, ordered restitution of the overpaid amount, and assigned procedural costs to the convicted party.
