Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 7-year prison sentence for qualified drug offenses violated sentencing law and proportionality principles.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The sentence itself was not shown to exceed the court's discretion; the lower court could base an initial sentence of 54 months on the quantity of cocaine and duration of activity.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 47 StGB the trial court has broad discretion; the drug quantity is important but not decisive. The Supreme Court saw no overreach in the base sentence, given the seriousness and extent of the conduct.
