Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court dismissed the defense's appeal, upholding the first-instance judgment against the defendant. The defense argued for a change in the sentence based on factual errors, but the court found these claims unsubstantiated and noted no other grounds for review. Consequently, the original sentence remains in force, while the state assumes the appeal costs due to the defendant's financial situation.
