Today we also have the upgrading of the category to the convicted defendants and the addition of four who had been acquitted at first instance. Some of my clients, university professors in Switzerland, sent me a message. “They were a term and now.” That is, it was the mountain and gave birth to a mouse. They believe that this is the proportion of today’s ruling that is not exactly the ruling of the Court of Justice but the criminal prosecution from the outset. A car accident where a offender drifters and kills a pedestrian, the category is a felony. 104 dead and the charges are a misdemeanor. If this is equity and equality then we live on another planet, “said Mr. Tauxis.
