They sentence them to lower sentences as compared to the first ones: 4 months of disqualification, a lower sentence as compared to the first one, of 20 months of disqualification and applies the mitigating circumstance of undue drawing out of proceedings. They are further sentenced to a fine of 1.200 euros, while the first sentence sentenced them to a fine of 30.000 euros.
