Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court violated Art. 47 CP by aggravating the sentence based on a German prior conviction
Solution extraite
The cantonal court could rely on the German conviction as a relevant prior record and did not abuse its discretion by increasing the sentence by six months.
Motifs extraits
Foreign convictions are relevant for sentencing. The prior German sentence concerned numerous similar property offences, was relatively recent, and showed that earlier punishment had little deterrent effect. The court could rely on the record entry without further details about the underlying foreign case.
