More detailed summary:
On 2 June 2020, the Cantonal Court of the Canton of Vaud confirmed the judgment of the District Court of the Vaud Eastern District Court of 4 December 2019. M.________ was convicted of fraud, bankruptcy and forgery of documents, as well as disobedience to an official order.
He was sentenced to imprisonment for three years and six months, of which two years and six months are conditional. In addition, he was fined 200,000 francs. M.________ must also bear the costs of the procedure.
The prosecution had demanded a prison sentence of four years and a fine of 300,000 francs. The defense, on the other hand, had pleaded for acquittal.
M.________ had founded a company in 2017 that dealt with the brokerage of real estate. He sold several properties, but he did not own them. The buyers paid the purchase price, but did not receive any property.
M.________ also had debts of several million francs. He refused to pay them and filed for bankruptcy proceedings.
The Cantonal Court considers that M.________ committed the acts as he is accused of. It therefore upheld the district Court's ruling. |
