Key legal question
Whether prior unemployment-related sanctions may aggravate later suspensions under Art. 45(2bis) OACI even if the misconducts differ in nature.
Extracted holding
Yes. Prior sanctions must be taken into account irrespective of the legal nature of the earlier and later misconduct.
Extracted reasoning
The regulation requires stricter sanctioning of a person already sanctioned before. The preventive purpose does not depend on a prior warning or on the claimant having had time to change behavior after the first sanction.
