Criminal appeal over additional conviction for tateinheitlich possession of significant cannabis quantity

The defendant’s appeal was dismissed as unfounded, with the German Federal Court of Criminal Justice ordering that the original judgment by the Berlin Regional Court stand, except for a correction requiring an additional conviction for the tateinheitlich (concurrently committed) possession of more than 60 grams of cannabis, based on the Federal Public Prosecutor’s request; the defendant bears the costs of the appeal. The case concerned a criminal appeal against a lower court’s judgment where the defendant challenged the rulings, and the court modified the dispositive part to include a specific drug possession offense. The decisive legal basis is the doctrine of tateinheit (concurrence of offenses), which mandates that the specific act of possessing a significant quantity of cannabis be separately convicted alongside the primary charge.
