Court imposes absolute prison sentence for recidivist telecom cable theft causing property damage.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court convicted two defendants of theft and damage to telecommunications infrastructure, finding them guilty of recidivism and acting under the influence of alcohol. The prosecution argued that the defendants demonstrated significant demoralization by committing the crime shortly after conditional release from prison. Consequently, the court imposed absolute prison sentences, ordered joint compensation for the victim's losses, and waived court costs due to the defendants' financial situation.
