(4) If a sentence of both imprisonment and a fine were determined for the offender, a
conditional conviction may be pronounced for both punishments, or just for the
punishment of imprisonment.
Revoking a conditional conviction due to a new crime
Article 51
(1) The court shall revoke the conditional conviction if during the control period, the
convicted commits one or more crimes for which a sentence of imprisonment of two years
or longer has been pronounced.
(2) If during the control period the convicted commits one or more crimes for which an
imprisonment sentence is pronounced for less than two years or a fine, the court after it
evaluates all the circumstances concerning the committed crimes and the offender, and
especially the relation between the perpetrated crimes, their significance and the motives
why they were committed, it shall decide whether it shall revoke the conditional conviction.
Hereby, the court is bound by a ban on pronouncing a conditional conviction, if the offender
is to be sentenced to more than two years of imprisonment for the crimes determined in
the conditional conviction and for the new crimes (Article 50, paragraph 1).
(3) If it revokes the conditional conviction, and by applying the provisions referred to in
Article 44, the court shall pronounce a single sentence, both for the previously committed
and new crime, taking the sentence from the revoked conditional conviction as confirmed.
(4) If it does not revoke the conditional conviction, the court may pronounce a conditional
conviction or sentence for the new committed crime. If the court finds that it should
pronounce a conditional conviction for the new crime, also, by applying the provisions
referred to in Article 44 it shall determine a single sentence, both for the previously
committed and the new crime, and it shall determine a new control period which cannot be
shorter than one and longer than five years, counting from the day the new verdict comes
into effect. For the offender who is sentenced to imprisonment for a new crime, the time
served for this sentence shall be reckoned within the control period determined with the
conditional conviction for the previous crime.
Revoking a conditional conviction due to a earlier committed crime
Article 52
(1) The court shall revoke the conditional conviction if it determines, upon its pronunciation,
that the convicted has committed a crime prior to being conditionally convicted, and if it
evaluates that there would be no grounds to pronounce a conditional conviction have that
crime been known. In that case, the provisions referred to in Article 51, paragraph 3 shall be
applied.
