Swiss Criminal Procedure Code

¹Where an ac­cused has com­mit­ted two or more of­fences at dif­fer­ent loci, the au­thor­it­ies of the place where the of­fence that car­ries the most severe pen­alty was com­mit­ted have jur­is­dic­tion to pro­sec­ute and ad­ju­dic­ate all of­fences. Where two or more of­fences carry the same pen­alty, the au­thor­it­ies of the place where the ini­tial pro­sec­u­tion pro­ced­ures were car­ried out have jur­is­dic­tion.

²Where charges have already been brought in a par­ti­cipant can­ton in re­spect of one of the of­fences at the time of the pro­ced­ure to es­tab­lish jur­is­dic­tion in ac­cord­ance with Art­icles 39–42, the pro­ceed­ings shall be con­duc­ted sep­ar­ately.

³Where a per­son is sen­tenced by dif­fer­ent courts to two or more sim­il­ar pen­al­ties, the court that has im­posed the most severe pen­alty shall on ap­plic­a­tion im­pose a cu­mu­lat­ive sen­tence on the con­victed per­son.
