The appellate court partially modified the first-instance judgment by reducing the total sentence for defendant R. G. to three years and four months, incorporating time already served between 2009 and 2012. While the defense argued for a reduction based on prior incarceration, the court upheld the sentences for the remaining five defendants as legally sound. The decision applied Article 63 of the Criminal Code to credit the prior detention against the new total term.
