Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed a reduction in the sentence for two individuals convicted of serious drug trafficking. The defendants argued they were merely couriers unaware that the substance being transported was drugs. The court ruled that the lack of knowledge regarding the nature of the substance negated the intent required for the most severe charge, thereby permitting a lighter penalty.
