GENERAL PART
TITLE THREE
PUNISHMENT
2. Fixing of punishment
Reoffending
Article 43
When fixing punishment for a perpetrator who has reoffended after he has served a punishment, been forgiven a punishment, had his punishment barred by the statute of limitations, or has had his punishment remitted after the deadline for revocation of parole has expired, or after he has been imposed judicial admonition, the court can take this as an aggravating circumstance while at the same time giving due consideration to the seriousness of the prior offence, whether his prior offence is of the same kind as the new one, whether both offences were committed out of the same motives, as well as to the circumstances under which the offences were committed and how much time has passed since the earlier conviction or since the punishment imposed, forgiven or barred by the statute of limitations, since the remission of punishment, expiry of the deadline for revocation of an earlier suspended sentence or since the judicial admonition imposed.
