Questão jurídica principal
Whether the sentencing court violated lex mitior, Art. 49 StGB, Art. 47 StGB, and Art. 50 StGB by imposing a combined prison sentence instead of separate sanctions under the revised law.
Decisão extraída
The revised law was not the more lenient one on the concrete facts, so sentencing under the former law was permissible; the challenged sentence structure did not violate federal law.
Fundamentação extraída
The court applied a concrete comparison between old and new law. Because the sentence exceeded 36 months, the possibilities of conditional or partially conditional execution under the revised law did not make it more lenient. The complaint about Art. 49 StGB also failed, and the omitted petty-drug-use fine was an insignificant oversight that could not justify remittal.
