Court increases prison sentence and fines for water pollution while upholding conviction under Polish Criminal Code.

The Court of Appeal in Siedlce increased the defendant's prison sentence from two to two years, raised the fine to 100,000 zloty, and extended the business ban to six years. The defendant appealed claiming procedural errors and excessive punishment, while the prosecutor argued for stricter penalties due to the significant water quality degradation. The court rejected the procedural complaints but found the original sentence insufficient given the environmental damage, thus modifying the penalty while maintaining the conviction.
