Facilitating a robbery through abuse of trust

Supreme Court · Second Chamber (Penal) · 2016

What the Supreme Court considered and decided

The court increased the sentence of a person who used a caring relationship with the victims to facilitate an attack on their home. It found abuse of trust alongside the other offences and circumstances.

What this helps explain

Responsibility is not limited to those who materially perform the subtraction: help and knowledge of the plan are also examined.
