Supreme Court allows reduction of sentence for time served abroad during extradition proceedings.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the reduction of the defendant's sentence by the time spent abroad while awaiting extradition. The defendant, who was extradited to another country and subsequently convicted in Finland, argued that his liberty was already lost during the extradition process. The court ruled that the time spent in the foreign state counts towards the Finnish sentence because the defendant was deprived of freedom for the same criminal conduct.
