The court acquitted three defendants of charges related to data tampering and fraud against a company. The prosecution alleged that employees altered inventory records to conceal a 36,000 zł loss, but the defense argued the discrepancies stemmed from system errors and human factors in a new database. The court ruled that the evidence failed to prove the defendants acted with the specific intent to cause damage or gain illicitly, as the losses were likely due to the system's inherent weaknesses.
