Conviction Quashed on Appeal. Deferral of the Application of the Sentence Ordered as Final Outcome

We obtained a favourable outcome on appeal in a criminal case in which, at first instance, the Constanta Tribunal had sentenced the defendant to 1 year of imprisonment, with suspension of execution, for the offense of possessing risk and high-risk drugs for personal use.

In the appeal, we demonstrated that the conviction was excessive in light of the specific circumstances of the case and of the defendant's personal situation, showing that the requirements for a more lenient form of sentence individualisation were met. Consequently, the Constanta Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, set aside the conviction pronounced by the first-instance court and ordered the deferral of the application of the sentence, while also reducing the duration of the sentence imposed.

The judgment is final.

The client was assisted and represented by attorney Mihai Bunu, member of the criminal law practice of Cărămidariu Druță Bunu SCA.
