Success in a criminal case – the Client was acquitted of the charges against him

By a judgment dated June 1, 2026, our Client was acquitted of the charges brought against him under Article 286 § 1 of the Criminal Code, in conjunction with Article 270 § 1 of the Criminal Code, in connection with Article 11 § 2 of the Criminal Code and Article 12 § 1 of the Criminal Code.

The case concerned misleading the owner of a furniture company regarding the client’s identity and intent, as well as the use of forged confirmations of bank transfers for the purchase of furniture; after these were sent, employees of the victim company released the goods from the warehouse.

The Client retained a defense attorney from the firm at the conclusion of the preliminary investigation. Two of the three co-defendants, with whom the Client was alleged to have acted jointly and in concert, voluntarily accepted punishment.

During the trial, the defense successfully demonstrated, among other things, that the client was unaware of the origin of the goods.

The judgment is not yet final. The case was handled by Attorney-at-law Joanna Sowisło.
