Question juridique clé
Whether a failed outpatient psychiatric measure may still be converted into an institutional measure after the sentence has been fully served.
Solution extraite
Such conversion is at most conceivable only in exceptional cases under strict proportionality review; on the facts here it was not justified.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the wording and structure of Art. 43 StGB point against conversion after full sentence service, because measures are to be accounted for against the sentence and security concerns must then primarily be addressed by civil or public-law mechanisms. No exceptional case existed: the earlier refusal of institutionalization had become final, there was no serious new violent conduct, and the respondent's post-release behavior did not show a grave current danger.
