Correction of daily fine rate in criminal sentencing despite otherwise unfounded appeal

The defendant’s appeal was dismissed as unfounded, with the appeal rejected except for a minor correction reducing the daily fine amount to one Euro for the specific offense cited, thereby affirming the lower court’s conviction and leaving the judgment otherwise in force. The dispute arose from a criminal appeal against a Hamburg Regional Court verdict, where the defendant challenged the sentencing, specifically the calculation of the daily rate for a fine imposed under a separate count of the conviction. The Federal Court of Justice (5th Criminal Senate) relied on the general principle of verifying sentencing calculations for mathematical or logical errors, finding no substantive legal error to the defendant’s detriment beyond the clerical adjustment to the fine structure.
