Court partially allowed appeal to reduce compensation damages while dismissing excessive penalty claims against defendants.

The appellate court partially modified the first-instance judgment by reducing the compensation amounts owed to specific victims while eliminating the obligation to compensate one victim entirely. The defendants argued that the original compensation figures were disproportionately high and violated the principle of proportionality under Article 438(4) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The court accepted the argument regarding excessive compensation but upheld the conviction and other penalties, ruling that the reduction was necessary to align the sentence with the severity of the offense.
