The District Court in Węgrowe's judgment was upheld by the District Court in Siedlce regarding the defendant's conviction for theft. The defendant and the victim's legal representative appealed, arguing procedural errors and excessive sentencing, but the appellate court found no grounds to alter the first-instance ruling. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeals, confirmed the original sentence, and ordered the defendant to pay court costs while exempting the victim's representative.
