Supreme Court allows reduction of sentence for prior conviction under Criminal Code Chapter 7 Section 6.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the applicant's request to have a previously imposed prison sentence taken into account. The applicant argued that the prior conviction should reduce the current sentence under Criminal Code Chapter 7 Section 6, while the prosecution opposed the reduction. The court ruled in favor of the applicant, establishing that such prior convictions can legally mitigate the current penalty.
