First instance: Conviction
Appeal: Not applicable / unknown
Review: Not applicable / unknown

Imprisonment with partially suspended sentence. Imprisonment: 30 months (with suspended sentence)

Severe case in the practice of art. 181¹ para. (1) CC, as the court did not limit itself to a monetary fine, but imposed a sentence of imprisonment with partial execution. The defendant admitted to transferring some sums to activists but claimed that these were payments for distributing materials and party activities, not for buying votes. However, the court considered that the money was given in an electoral context and for the purpose of persuading voters to vote in favor of the candidate supported by the “Victory” Bloc and for the “NO” option in the referendum. Particularity: there were no bodily injuries and no state legal costs were incurred, but the main sanction is the most severe among recently extracted similar cases.
