Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the probation order for a defendant convicted of repeated drunk driving and traffic offenses. The defendant had previously received three absolute prison sentences within the last ten years and was now charged with a new serious offense. The court determined that the statutory discretion to apply probation was not overridden by the recidivism pattern, permitting the conditional sentence.
