By responding to an advertisement, a police officer has ordered narcotics within the framework of what was offered for sale and then arranged a meeting with the person he had come into contact with for the handover of the narcotics.
In view of the fact that it appears from the investigation that the defendant already used the telephone number on which he was contacted in order to supply narcotics in accordance with the sales advertisement before the provocative measures, the Supreme Court has concluded that the measures do not bar the indictment for the possession of the narcotics, nor do they constitute grounds for a mitigation of the sentence.
In its decision, the Supreme Court elaborates on the cases in which provocative measures may constitute an impediment to the prosecution for a crime and in which cases there may be grounds for a mitigation of the sentence.
