Key legal question
Whether the appellate court's sentencing assessment under Art. 47 StGB was arbitrary or unlawful.
Extracted holding
The appellate court duly weighed the relevant sentencing factors and did not abuse its discretion; the 3.5-year sentence was not excessive.
Extracted reasoning
The court upheld the finding of serious culpability, considering the drug quantity, international trafficking, active role, selfish motive, lack of exceptional mitigating circumstances, and the limited relevance of personal/family consequences.
