Key legal question
Whether the day-fine amount of CHF 30 violated Art. 34 CP in light of the appellant's financial situation
Extracted holding
The challenge fails; the canton could set the day-fine at CHF 30 because the appellant did not show an erroneous factual basis, the minimum-vital reduction had already been applied, and no further reduction was warranted.
Extracted reasoning
The Court held that the appellant could not depart from the canton’s factual findings. It recalled that day-fines are based on actual economic capacity, with a corrective reduction for minimum-vital cases. An additional reduction of 10-30% for sentences above 90 day-fines is indicative, not automatic; here the remaining 280 day-fines and the appellant’s potential to increase his working percentage justified refusal of a further reduction.
