The following is particularly interesting:
"As for the unusual sentence, ... the judge had no alternative as the custody battle and the violation of the court order went on for several years."

What a difference to Germany, where proceedings often last until the children come of age and /or the alienation has become so important that, in many cases, the contact to their parents is lost forever. The ECHR will then allocate a "just compensation" of 7.000 € - less than 2 € per day of a spoilt life!
