The court, in rendering its decision, was guided by the fact that on August 9, 2024, Law No. 3886-IX came into effect, which raised the property value threshold for qualifying theft as an administrative offense to 2 non-taxable minimum citizen incomes. Since the value of the stolen property was found to be below this threshold, the act ceased to be criminally punishable. The Supreme Court took into account the legal position of the Joint Chamber of the Criminal Cassation Court of the Supreme Court that this law has retroactive effect as one that cancels criminal liability.
