Supreme Court allows retrial when new confession by another person materially affects the original theft case facts.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the case to be retried after a new confession by a second individual was discovered. The original defendant had been convicted of serious theft and payment instrument fraud, but the new evidence suggested the second person committed the crimes. The court ruled that this new material fact necessitated a fresh examination of the evidence and the original verdict's validity.
