The Penal Code of Finland

Chapter 7 - Joint punishment

Section 3 - Joint fine

(1) If a person is to be sentenced at the same time to fines for two or more offences, he or she shall instead be sentenced to a joint fine.

(2) The maximum for a joint fine is two hundred and forty day fines. However, a joint fine may not be greater than the sum of the maximum punishments for the separate offences. If a minimum number of day fines has been provided for an offence in an Act enacted after 1 June 1969, the joint fine may not be less than the said minimum.

(3) What is provided above does not apply to the threat of a fine imposed in euros. (515/2003)
