Crediting of foreign surrender detention at 1:1 in criminal revision

The Federal Court of Justice (5th Criminal Senate) dismissed the defendant's revision as unfounded, thereby upholding the Landgericht Dresden's judgment of June 21, 2022, with the specific modification that the time served in surrender detention in the Czech Republic is credited against the sentence at a rate of 1:1. The dispute involved a criminal appeal challenging the validity of the lower court's conviction and sentencing order. The decisive legal basis for the partial adjustment was the provision for crediting foreign surrender detention (Anerkennung ausländischer Haft), ensuring the total period of deprivation of liberty is correctly accounted for, while the substantive review found no legal error to the defendant's detriment, leaving the original conviction and remaining sentence intact.
