When ten years have passed since a person completed the imprisonment or a greater punishment or the person had such punishment remitted without another sentence of a fine or a greater punishment being imposed, the sentence ceases to have effect. The same applies when five years have passed since a person completed a fine or a lesser punishment or had the execution of such punishment remitted without another sentence to a fine or a greater punishment being imposed.
拘禁刑以上の刑の執行を終わり又はその執行の免除を得た者が罰金以上の刑に処せられないで十年を経過したときは、刑の言渡しは、効力を失う。罰金以下の刑の執行を終わり又はその執行の免除を得た者が罰金以上の刑に処せられないで五年を経過したときも、同様とする。
In the case of a person who was sentenced to a remitted punishment without being further sentenced to a fine or a greater punishment during a period of two years since such sentence became final and binding, the sentence ceases to have effect.
刑の免除の言渡しを受けた者が、その言渡しが確定した後、罰金以上の刑に処せられないで二年を経過したときは、刑の免除の言渡しは、効力を失う。
