Criminal revision: 1:1 credit for foreign extradition detention toward domestic custodial sentence

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) dismissed the defendant's revision as unfounded but amended the lower court's judgment to order a 1:1 credit for time served in Lithuanian extradition detention, with the revised verdict and the costs of the appeal falling to the defendant. The case concerned a criminal appeal against a final judgment by the Dresden Regional Court, where the sole issue identified in this decision was the proportionality and calculation of pre-trial detention credit from a foreign surrender. The court applied principles of double jeopardy and the fairness of total liberty deprivation, determining that the period of confinement abroad during the surrender process must be fully counted toward the domestic custodial sentence to ensure legal consistency and prevent excessive punishment.
