In passing sentence she said, “The offenses for which the accused were convicted are there to defend social values of great importance, regarding the significance of the public purse for the state’s economy and security. As a result of committing tax offenses, the public coffers are frequently harmed, and as a result the ‘silent victim’ is harmed – the public as a whole and in particular the underprivileged public in society that relies on public services.”
