Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court violated Art. 49 Abs. 1 StGB by determining the overall sentence through an incorrect asperation methodology.
Decisione estratta
The court applied the sentencing method imperfectly, but the overall sentence could not stand because the required global assessment under Art. 49 Abs. 1 StGB was not carried out properly.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court held that the sentence must be based on the most serious offense and then increased in a genuine overall assessment of the remaining offenses. Here, the appellate court’s approach came too close to mere accumulation, especially by giving only minimal weight to asperation and factoring in reoffending during pending proceedings in a way that effectively produced sentence stacking.
