Subject of Dispute: Cassation Appeal of a Sentence against a Person Convicted of Illegal Sale of Psychotropic Substances.
Main Arguments of the Court: The Supreme Court deemed the evidence for the episode of October 24, 2022, inadmissible due to untimely entry of information into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations, which made it impossible to prove the person’s guilt. The court took into account the personal circumstances of the convicted person, including the presence of three minor children, absence of previous convictions, and undergoing drug addiction treatment.
Court Decision: The court partially granted the cassation appeal, excluded the episode of October 24, 2022, and mitigated the punishment to 1 year of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
