However, the defense argued that the accused had legitimate access due to his roles in the companies involved. They also highlighted a lack of financial evidence linking him to the alleged crimes.

## Lack of Evidence

The defense presented an independent technical report that contradicted the prosecution's findings. The court noted the absence of a financial trail and victim complaints, which contributed to the decision to acquit the defendant.

## Conclusion

The court's decision emphasized the principle that doubt should benefit the accused. The civil claim for compensation was also dismissed, with the complainants ordered to cover legal costs.
