Criminal appeal: credit of extradition custody against final prison term

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) rejected the defendant's appeal as unfounded, upholding the conviction of the Regional Court of Görlitz while modifying the sentencing to mandate that the time spent in extradition custody be credited at a ratio of 1:1 against the prison term. The defendant challenged the underlying criminal conviction, which resulted in the court finding no legal errors to the defendant's disadvantage during the review. The decisive legal basis involved the application of German criminal procedure norms governing the evaluation of appeals against custodial sentences and the mandatory judicial adjustment of pre-trial detention credits, specifically recognizing extradition custody as equivalent to domestic pre-trial detention.
