Supreme Court rejects aggravating circumstance claim under Criminal Code s. 6.2.1.4 due to lack of new facts.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the prosecution's request to apply an aggravating circumstance under Section 6.2.1.4 of the Criminal Code. The prosecution argued that the defendant's conduct warranted harsher punishment, but the court found no new facts or circumstances justifying this specific statutory provision. Consequently, the court ruled that the request for aggravated sentencing was inadmissible because the necessary legal prerequisites were not met.
