Supreme Court allows combining sentences for multiple crimes under Finnish Criminal Code Chapter 7 Section 6.

The Supreme Court of Finland ruled that a previously sentenced combined punishment must be considered when imposing a new sentence. The applicant argued that the prior sentence should not be factored in, while the prosecution contended for its inclusion to prevent excessive total penalties. The court decided to allow the combination because the statutory provision explicitly requires considering prior punishments to ensure proportionality and avoid cumulative over-punishment.
