Article 4. § 1. If at the time of adjudication the law in force is other than that in force at the time of
the commission of the offence, the new law shall be applied. However, the former law should be applied if it is more lenient to the perpetrator.

§ 2. If, according to the new law, the act to which the sentence pertained is subject to a penalty
whose upper limit is lower than the penalty imposed, this penalty shall be lowered to the upper limit of the statutory penalty provided for such an act in the new law.

§ 3. If, according to the new law, the act to which the sentence pertained, is no longer subject to
penalty of imprisonment, such an enforceable penalty is commuted to a fine or to a restriction of liberty, assuming that one month deprivation of liberty is equivalent to 60 times the daily fine or two months restriction of liberty.

§ 4. If according to the new law the act to which the sentence pertained is no longer prohibited
under penalty, the sentence shall be expunged by virtue of the law.

Non-retroactivity ratione personae
