The court convicted two defendants of theft and imposed prison sentences, fines, and restitution obligations. While the court confirmed the value of the stolen gold and silver items, it rejected the victims' expanded claim for additional damages because the specific items and total loss amount remained unproven. Consequently, the court ordered only a partial compensation via 'nawiązki' (indemnity) rather than full civil damages, noting that the criminal judgment remains binding in civil proceedings.
