Court dismisses charges against two defendants for fraud due to expiration of the statute of limitations. The court ruled that the new anti-pandemic law did not apply retroactively to this case. The prosecution's case was dropped because the limitation period had already passed before the new law entered into force.

The court dismissed criminal charges against two defendants for fraud and identity theft involving a bank loan of 46,000 PLN. The prosecution alleged that the defendants conspired to use a stolen identity document to obtain a loan, causing significant financial loss to the bank. The court determined that the statute of limitations for prosecuting these crimes had expired in May 2021, prior to the entry into force of a new law intended to extend limitation periods during the pandemic. Consequently, the court ordered the termination of the proceedings based on the expiration of the limitation period.
