Questione giuridica chiave
Whether annulling a final fine instead of simply refraining from collection constitutes benefitting under Art. 305(1) SCC.
Decisione estratta
Yes. Cancelling the final fine amounted in substance to preventing execution of a lawful sanction and thus shielding the person from criminal enforcement.
Motivazione estratta
Benefitting also covers execution-related conduct by authorities responsible for enforcement. The council’s wording did not matter; it withdrew the enforcement of a valid, final sanction.
