The court convicted three defendants of trafficking and aiding the trafficking of psychotropic substances in significant quantities. The prosecution argued for confiscation of illicit gains totaling 124,000 zloty, while the defense contested the valuation methods and requested exemption from court costs. The court rejected the cost exemption request, ruling that the defendants' young age and employment potential did not make the financial burden unmanageable.
