Finland (FI)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the appeal against a final judgment that acquitted the appellant of recidivism charges. The appellant, while serving a prison sentence, stole a liter of milk from a storage room and was subsequently not sentenced to punishment under RL 3:5,2 due to minor circumstances. The court ruled that this act constituted a minor offense and therefore did not qualify as a new crime sufficient to establish recidivism.
