The court acquitted the defendant of fraud and abuse of weakness, ordering the prosecution to bear legal costs. The prosecution alleged the defendant caused the victim to dispose of property worth millions by exploiting her inability to understand legal acts. However, evidence showed the victim sold the properties years later and never disposed of the specific assets listed in the indictment.

Art. 286 § 1 k.k.; Art. 294 § 1 k.k.: The court established that a conviction for fraud requires proof that the victim actually disposed of the specified property while in a state of weakness, which was not demonstrated here as the victim retained ownership until much later.
