Question juridique clé
Whether conditional sentencing is excluded only if more than three months of imprisonment were served within the five-year period before the offense.
Solution extraite
The exclusion applies only when the offender actually served more than three months of custody within the five-year period; mere release during that period is not enough.
Motifs extraits
The wording of Art. 41(1)(2) StGB allows this narrower interpretation. The court also relied on doctrinal analysis and the revised 1993 draft, which clarified and softened the rule in the same direction.
