Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court misapplied Art. 68 StGB when it treated the later offenses as the base sentence and simply added a supplementary sentence for the earlier offenses.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Where the later offenses are the more serious ones, the court must first set an independent sentence for those offenses and then increase it appropriately by reference to the supplementary sentence for the earlier offenses; simple cumulation is impermissible.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 68 StGB requires asperation, not arithmetic addition. The lower court's method combined the sentence for the earlier and later acts instead of increasing the sentence for the gravest offenses according to the unsatisfied remainder from the first judgment.
