A district court in Olsztyn on Wednesday upheld a regional court ruling issued against Emil C. in September. The defendant had appealed against the first instance ruling.
The soldier was found guilty of physically and mentally abusing of his mother.
He was sentenced to six months community service and received a one-year restraining order, forcing him to stay at least 50 metres away from his mother and stop excessive drinking.
An arrest warrant was issued after Emil C. on Monday for defecting for Belarus. The soldier is facing up to 10 years in prison.
Defence Minister Mariusz Błaszczak dismissed the soldier's superiors for his defection.
