The Cozma family will get 226 million after their son’s death
Change language:
After the murder of Marian Cozma who was killed six years ago in Veszprém, in the Cozma case, the Metropolitan Tribunal had decided to sentence 16 million forints compensation to the family.
According to origo.hu, Marian Cozma who was a member of the MKB hand ball national team of romas in Veszprém was murdered on 8th February in front of a locale in Veszprém. The criminal case was ended in Kúria in 2012: five people were sentenced, among two of them were sentenced for 18 years each.
The civil court held its session on Wednesday where it was decided about the non-criminals involved in the case: since the criminals have been sentenced before. The court decided that there should be a compensation in the case and they decided about the exact amount of it.
They decided to give 210 million forints to the family.
In another case, the court has previously ordered 210 million forints compensation, the recent trial is about non-property compensation.
The difference between the two is that in property compensation the expenses can be almost exactly calculated based on the deceased sportsman’s income. While in the non-property compensation it is a harder job and the family’s decreased health should be taken into consideration.
The loss of a member of the family is cannot be a proof
The last one was not provable to the experts because the parents’ health status did not allow them to travel to Budapest. The court’s verdict states that the complainant’s representative was unable to back up the statement of the non-property compensation; however, the verdict is valid since the loss of a member of the family is cannot be a proof.
The court has judged the parents 5 million each and the two sisters got 3-3 million forints. If they decide to appeal to a higher tribunal than the case will continue. The complainants have asked exactly for the amount the court has decided, therefore, they will not appeal to a higher tribunal but the defendants have not made a statement about the issue and whether they want to give remedy within 15 days.
