Date:	29.11.2020
Force of law:	-

Summary:	Five-sentence summary: On November 29, 2019, the Geneva Court of Appeal overturned the convictions of four people for drug trafficking. The four defendants, A.W., J., B.W. and C.W., were sentenced to prison terms of between two and four years by the Criminal Court of the Canton of Geneva in 2018. The Court of Appeal has now overturned the verdicts and acquitted the defendants. The court based its decision on the fact that the evidence was insufficient to prove the guilt of the accused. The defendants were charged with drug trafficking in Geneva and the surrounding area in 2017. However, the Court of Appeal noted that the prosecutor's office did not provide concrete evidence of the guilt of the defendants. The decision of the Court of Appeal is an important step for the defendants, who have now proved their innocence. Here is another possible summary in five sentences: The Geneva Court of Appeal has overturned the convictions of four people for drug trafficking. The court based its decision on the fact that the evidence was insufficient. The defendants were charged with drug trafficking in Geneva and the surrounding area in 2017.
