Questão jurídica principal
Whether excess detention from this case had to be credited to still outstanding sentences from other proceedings under Art. 51 StGB.
Decisão extraída
Yes. Article 51 StGB also allows crediting detention served in another proceeding, and the appellate court had to order credit against the remaining executory sentences instead of granting compensation only.
Fundamentação extraída
The wording of Art. 51 StGB covers detention served during this or another proceeding. The reformed law abandoned a strict identity-of-proceedings approach; the aim is to offset deprivation of liberty wherever possible. Crediting the detention to the still pending execution did not interfere with the finality of the earlier judgment.
