Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the applicant's request to reduce the new sentence by the amount of the previously served term. The applicant argued that the new sentence should account for time already spent in custody, while the prosecution contended otherwise. The court ruled that under the specific provision cited, a reduction is mandatory only if the new sentence exceeds the old one, thereby permitting the applicant's claim in this instance.
