The court convicted the defendant, M. P., of illegally operating gambling machines without a license and ordered a fine of 290 daily units. The prosecution argued that the defendant repeatedly resumed operations after inspections, demonstrating a lack of respect for legal order and a profit-driven mindset. The court found the evidence sufficient, noted the defendant's prior criminal record, and determined the fine was appropriate to prevent future offenses and deter the spread of criminal activity.
