Swiss Criminal Code

¹ In the event that the of­fend­er fails to pay the mon­et­ary pen­alty and it is not re­cov­er­able through debt col­lec­tion pro­ced­ures (Art. 35 para. 3), the of­fend­er shall serve a cus­todi­al sen­tence as the al­tern­at­ive to the mon­et­ary pen­alty. A daily pen­alty unit cor­res­ponds to one day in cus­tody. The ret­ro­spect­ive pay­ment of the mon­et­ary pen­alty leads to a cor­res­pond­ing re­duc­tion in the al­tern­at­ive cus­todi­al sen­tence.

² If the mon­et­ary pen­alty has been im­posed by an ad­min­is­trat­ive au­thor­ity, the court de­cides on the al­tern­at­ive cus­todi­al sen­tence.
