AI generated

The Regional Court in Giżycko convicted the defendant of evading alimentary obligations and sentenced him to six months of restricted liberty with mandatory community service. The court found the defendant knowingly avoided paying 350 PLN monthly to his daughter, who relied on state funds, despite having visited her and knowing her address. The judgment emphasized that a fine was ineffective due to his unemployment and imprisonment would be excessive, making community service the appropriate penalty.
