The case file was transferred to the Prosecutor's Office and then brought to court. Surprisingly, after the trial, the individual was declared exempt from criminal responsibility. The reason given was a change in legal policy, meaning their actions were no longer deemed criminal or the level of danger had significantly decreased.

This story intrigued me. I always believed that committing a crime resulted in legal consequences, at least some form of punishment. Yet, in this case, the person was completely exempt.

I'm curious about the specific legal provisions for such situations. Under what circumstances is an offender exempt from criminal responsibility?
