The appellate court upheld the first-instance judgment regarding the conviction but applied Article 63 of the Criminal Code to credit a specific period of the defendant's detention toward the prison sentence. The defendant appealed claiming procedural errors and excessive punishment, but the court found no grounds to alter the ruling. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the defendant was ordered to bear the full cost of the appeal proceedings.
