(4) In the event of the court not revoking a suspended sentence, a suspended
sentence or a sentence may be imposed for the new criminal offence. If a suspended
sentence is decided for the new criminal offence, the court, applying Article 53 of the
Penal Code, shall determine a combined sentence for the earlier and the new offence,
as well as a new term of suspension of not less than one and not more than five years,
running from the day of the final judgement. If the offender is sentenced to imprisonment
for committing a new criminal offence, the period of time spent in serving such a
sentence shall not be credited towards the term of suspension determined by the
suspended sentence for the previous criminal offence.
Revoking of Suspended Sentence due to Preceding Criminal Offence
Article 60
(1) The court shall revoke a suspended sentence when, after pronouncing it, it
finds that the offender had committed a criminal offence prior to being given a
suspended sentence and when it considers that there would not have been sufficient
reasons for the imposition of such a sentence had the existence of the prior offence
been known. In such a case the court shall apply the provisions contained in paragraph
3 of the preceding Article.
(2) If the court does not revoke the suspended sentence, it shall act according
to the provisions contained in paragraph 4 of the preceding Article.
Revoking of Suspended Sentence due to Non-performance of Obligations Imposed
Article 61
If the performance of some obligation contained in paragraph 3 of Article 57 of
this Penal Code has been imposed on the offender under the terms of the suspended
sentence and if he fails to fulfil such an obligation within the period of time determined by
the judgement, the court may either prolong the time for the discharge of such an
obligation or revoke the suspended sentence. If the court finds that the offender is not
able to perform the obligation imposed under the terms of the sentence for justified
reasons, the requirement of the performance of such an obligation may be withdrawn or
substituted by another obligation as specified by the statute.
Time Limit for the Revoking of Suspended Sentence
Article 62
(1) A suspended sentence may be revoked during the term of suspension. If the
offender commits a criminal offence entailing the revoking of the suspended sentence
during this term and the committing of the criminal offence is established by a judgement
passed after the expiry of the term of suspension, the suspended sentence may be
revoked within a period of one year beginning from the day the term of suspension
expired.
