Questão jurídica principal
Whether the new Swiss Criminal Code was the milder law and therefore had to be applied under lex mitior
Decisão extraída
No. On a concrete comparison, the appellant would not have fared better under the new law because the overall sanction would have remained 18 months and additional fines would have been mandatory for certain contraventions.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 2(2) StGB requires a concrete, not abstract, comparison of the outcomes under old and new law. The cantonal court correctly compared the hypothetical sanctions and found the new law not milder.
