The appellate court partially overturned the first-instance judgment, acquitting the defendant of the charge under Article 284 § 1 of the Criminal Code while upholding the conviction for Article 278 § 1. The defense argued for a change in legal qualification, whereas the prosecution contested the acquittal and sought to maintain the original penalty structure. The court ruled that the evidence supported only one specific charge, necessitating the reduction of the combined sentence and the adjustment of civil compensation and procedural costs accordingly.
