Question juridique clé
Whether converting an ambulatory measure into a stationary measure after full service of the sentence was proportionate under Art. 43 StGB.
Solution extraite
The conversion was disproportionate because, although the appellant remained at risk of further offences, the expected offences were not sufficiently serious to amount to a grave threat to public safety after the therapy had failed.
Motifs extraits
A post-sentence conversion is admissible only in clear exceptional cases and under strict proportionality review. The court found that the appellant’s prognosis was still unfavorable and treatment was indicated, but the concrete danger concerned mainly property offences; the more serious violent and sexual offences were remote in time and the required level of grave danger to public safety was not met.
