Only the 23-year-old appeared at the trial on Wednesday before the Zurich District Court. His 25-year-old co-accused had a medical certificate delivered ten minutes before the court hearing, which confirmed that he was incapable of standing for a month. The court did not respond and conducted the process in his absence. “This behavior borders on abuse of law,” said the judge angrily.
Silver-colored metal bars touted as white gold
During the survey, the 23-year-old stated that he now runs a thriving online shop for cryptocurrencies as a self-employed person. He basically confesses and justified the acts with peer pressure and recognition by the accomplices. “It was like a very stupid game.”

He demanded a prison sentence of six years and ten months for the younger accused, and a prison sentence of eight years and two months for the older accomplice, who had four previous convictions. “He was the real head of the group,” said the prosecutor.
The two defenders demanded significantly lower penalties. “The prosecutor’s requests for criminal charges are completely different,” said the lawyer of the younger accused and demanded a partial sentence of 30 months. The 25-year-old’s lawyer wants a three-year sentence.
