Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal court correctly applied Arts. 42 and 43 StGB when it ordered a partially suspended sentence instead of a fully suspended one.
Decisione estratta
For a 2-year prison sentence, full suspension is the rule; a partially suspended sentence is exceptional and requires special-preventive necessity for immediate service of part of the term. The appeal court failed to show such necessity.
Motivazione estratta
The appeal court itself identified several factors supporting a favorable prognosis and did not establish substantial doubts requiring a partly executed sentence. It therefore misapplied Arts. 42 and 43 StGB by treating partial suspension as warranted without showing that a partly immediate sanction was indispensable for special prevention.
