GENERAL PART
CHAPTER FIVE (v) - PUNISHMENT AND SENTENCING
Article 57
(1) The punishment prescribed by law for a criminal offense may be mitigated when the statute expressly prescribes so, or when the court holds that, in view of the existence of particularly obvious mitigating circumstances, the purpose of punishment may also be attained by a more lenient punishment.
(2) The limits of mitigation are the following:
a) if, for a criminal offense, imprisonment for a maximum of three years or less is prescribed, regardless of the minimum duration, a fine may be imposed instead of imprisonment;
b) if, for a criminal offense a minimum duration of imprisonment for one year or less, and a maximum of three years or more, is prescribed, the sentence may be reduced to the legal minimum of imprisonment;
c) if, for a criminal offense, imprisonment for at least two years is prescribed, the sentence may be reduced to six months of imprisonment;
d) if, for a criminal offense, imprisonment of at least three years or more is prescribed, the sentence may be reduced to one year of imprisonment.
