The appeal court partially overturned the first-instance judgment regarding the defendant's conviction for labor law violations. The defendant argued that the original sentencing was legally flawed, but the court found the conviction valid while correcting the legal basis and reducing the fine. Consequently, the court eliminated the specific article used for sentencing and lowered the daily fine amount.
