The first appeal hearing was held on April 7, 2008, and after a month of consideration on May 7, 2008, the court decided to leave the sentence unchanged. ^[four]

The court also increased the amount of payments in civil claims by € 15 thousand in favor of each of the parents of a young man who died in an accident and by € 35 thousand in favor of a girl who did not come out of a coma. Stavisky’s lawyers disagreed with the court’s decision and immediately filed a counter appeal. ^{[7] [8]} .
