Supreme Court allows state compensation for excessive pre-sentence detention not fully offset by sentence reduction.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the applicant's claim for state compensation regarding excessive pre-sentence detention. Although the court reduced the sentence by the entire period of lost liberty, it held that this reduction could not be fully accounted for when executing the sentence. Consequently, the court ruled that the applicant was entitled to compensation for the suffering caused by the unjustified loss of liberty beyond the sentence reduction.
Regesto Legislator
