The findings of the study and debate demonstrate that the cassation decision was erroneous since the judge did not base his decision on the public prosecutor's indictment, whereas the defendant was charged with using Article 112 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 132 paragraph (1) letter a of Law no. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.
