Key legal question
Whether the appellate court misapplied sentencing discretion under Art. 63 StGB by increasing the sentence to 30 months.
Extracted holding
The appellate court weighed the relevant sentencing factors correctly and stayed within its discretion; the sentence was not disproportionate.
Extracted reasoning
The damage amount was only one factor among several. The appellate court could give greater weight to the number of offenses, criminal energy, and motive. The reduced amount in dispute and fewer forgeries did not materially change the assessment.
