Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the seven-year prison sentence was excessive or otherwise unlawful
Extrahierter Entscheid
The sentence was within the court's discretion and not unlawful.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Federal Supreme Court found the lower court had assessed all relevant sentencing factors, especially the seriousness of the offence, the defendant's high degree of decision-making freedom, and the effects of his confession and pre-trial custody. The increase from the earlier sentence followed the harsher legal qualification and was not a violation of federal law.
