Joint punishment
Section 3 (697/1991)
Joint fine
If a person is to be sentenced to a fine for two or more offences at the same time, he or she shall, instead, be sentenced to a joint fine.
The maximum for a joint fine is 240 unit fines. However, the joint fine shall not be greater than the combined amount of the maximum punishments for the offences in question. If a specific minimum for a fine to be imposed for an offence has been provided by law after 1 June 1969, the joint fine shall not be less than the said minimum. (515/2003)
What is provided above does not apply to a conditional fine imposed in euros. (515/2003)
