Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court declared the defense attorney's request to withdraw the cassation appeal inadmissible. The defendant, G.D., had been convicted under the Drug Prevention Act and Criminal Code, and his lawyer attempted to retract the appeal filed against the appellate court's judgment. The court ruled that once a cassation appeal is formally lodged, the defendant cannot unilaterally withdraw it without the Supreme Court's explicit permission, which was not granted in this instance.
