The Warsaw Court of Appeal partially modified the first-instance judgment regarding a fraud case involving two defendants. The prosecution and social insurance representative appealed, arguing the lower court erred in describing the stolen assets and underestimating the compensation owed. The court agreed to correct the legal description of the assets from 'large' to 'significant value' and increased the partial compensation obligation to over 1.1 million zloty, while upholding the rest of the original sentence.
