According to an announcement by the Legal Service broadcast by the GTP, the Supreme Court increased the prison sentence from 3 ½ to 7 years, noting that the Respondent's admission should have a reduced value due to the fact that he was arrested on his own, the amount of drugs would cause harm "to a multitude of users but also to society in general", that the penalty is not supported by jurisprudence and sends wrong messages while the performance of a deterrent nature was imposed.
