Key legal question
Whether the refusal of conditional release under Art. 86 StGB was lawful
Extracted holding
Yes. The Federal Court held that the cantonal court did not act arbitrarily and did not exceed its discretion in finding a negative prognosis.
Extracted reasoning
The lower court considered the inmate’s prison behavior, prior offending, unchanged attitude toward the offences, lack of insight, uncertain post-release circumstances, and the need to protect high-value legal interests, especially sexual integrity.
