Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the conditional releases had to be revoked after a new conviction during the probation periods.
Decisione estratta
Under the law applicable at the time of the cantonal decision, revocation was mandatory because the appellant committed offences during probation and was sentenced to an unconditional prison term exceeding three months.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court held that later statutory changes were irrelevant in this appeal; it only reviews the cantonal decision against the law in force when that decision was issued. Under Art. 38 no. 4 para. 1 aStGB, the authority had no discretion once the statutory conditions were met.
