Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellate court lawfully split multiple aidings and receiving into different penalty groups with imprisonment and a fine.
Decisione estratta
No. Multiple similar acts had to be assessed under the rules on cumulative sentencing for like penalties; the split into vague 'first' and 'other' aidings was incompatible with Art. 49 StGB.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the defendant's acts were materially similar and individually not unusually serious. The lower court could not create a much higher starting sentence for the last act merely because of repetition, and the defendant's knowledge of the principals' aggravated intent could not be used because the qualifying features of professionalism and gang membership did not apply to him.
