Supreme Court allows prior Swedish prison term reduction under Finnish Criminal Code Chapter 7 Sections 6 and 9.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the applicant's request to reduce the sentence by accounting for a prior prison term served in Sweden. The applicant argued that the foreign custodial sentence should be recognized under Chapter 7 Sections 6 and 9 of the Criminal Code, while the prosecution contended otherwise. The court ruled in favor of the applicant, establishing that the statutory conditions for recognizing foreign prison terms are met when the sentence was imposed by a foreign court and the person was detained in that country.
