Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court misapplied Art. 47 CP by giving excessive weight to the offender's personal situation when fixing the sentence after remand.
Extracted holding
Yes. Once the range of plausible sentences no longer includes the threshold for a suspended or partly suspended sentence, personal circumstances can only play a marginal role compared with culpability.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that the new sentencing system remains bounded by objective limits. The cantonal court treated the offender's work, debts, family situation, remorse, and cooperation as too important even though a sentence above the partial-suspension threshold was already foreseeable and the added money-laundering conviction also weighed against mitigation.
