Court dismisses request to adapt Greek sentence for Danish execution due to lack of legal basis.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the applicant's request to adapt a Greek prison sentence for execution in Denmark. The applicant argued that Danish law required such adaptation upon transfer, but the court found no statutory provision mandating this specific adjustment. Consequently, the original foreign sentence remains the sole basis for the execution period.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedStraffedomsloven; Straffelovens § 10: A foreign sentence may be adapted for execution in Denmark only if explicitly provided by law; absent such provision, the original sentence stands.
