Question juridique clé
Whether the four-year probation period was unlawful and had to be reduced to two years.
Solution extraite
The four-year probation period remained within the court's discretion and was not contrary to federal law.
Motifs extraits
Art. 44 StGB sets a probation period between two and five years; its length depends on the individual circumstances, especially personality and relapse risk. The defendant's prior conviction for an offense against property allowed some doubts about future compliance, so the lower court could set a four-year term.
