AI generated

The appellate court dismissed the defendant's appeal, which sought to overturn a conviction for waste disposal and reduce the fine. The court found the lower court's characterization of the act as 'waste disposal' legally accurate and noted that the defendant's behavior fully met the statutory elements of the crime. Although the first-instance judgment contained a mathematical error in calculating the fine, the court ruled that correcting this error did not violate the defendant's rights and thus fell outside the scope of the appeal.

Art. 438 pkt 2 k.p.k.; Art. 636 § 1 k.p.k.: An appeal on behalf of the accused is inadmissible if the appellate court corrects a mathematical error in the fine calculation, as such a correction does not constitute a violation of procedural rules affecting the judgment's substance.
