The court dismissed the appeal against a conviction where an aggravating circumstance was applied under Section 6, Chapter 2, Paragraph 2, Subsection 4 of the Penal Code. The defendant had served most of a foreign sentence and committed a new crime in Finland, demonstrating a manifest disregard for legal prohibitions. The court upheld the conviction because the defendant's conduct after partial execution of the foreign sentence justified the aggravation of the penalty.

Syytetty oli tuomittu Ruotsissa useista rikoksista rangaistukseen ja kärsinyt rangaistuksensa vähäistä osaa lukuun ottamatta Ruotsissa. Suomessa tehdystä rikoksesta rangaistusta mitattaessa sovellettiin rikoslain 6 luvun 2 §:n 4 kohdan koventamisperustetta, koska uuden Suomessa tehdyn rikoksen ja aikaisemman rikollisuuden suhde osoitti tekijässä ilmeistä piittaamattomuutta lain kielloista ja käskyistä.
