The court, with its unanimous decision, found them guilty only for the 3rd category, espionage (to a degree of felony) jointly and continuously, and acquitted them of the other two offenses that burdened them.

The defense attorneys asked for the mitigation of the mitigating circumstances of the previous legal life and the subsequent good behavior to be recognized to the two defendants.

The above was done and resulted in their acquittal from the other two offenses that burden them.

It is recalled that the case was revealed on November 11, 2020.
