Two or more crimes which have been committed but for which no judgment has yet become final and binding are to constitute crimes for consolidated punishments. When a judgment imposing imprisonment or a greater punishment becomes final and binding for a crime, only that crime and other crimes committed before such judgment became final and binding constitute crimes for a consolidated punishment.

①When a death penalty is rendered for one of the crimes for consolidated punishments, no other punishments except confiscation may be imposed.

②When a punishment of imprisonment for life is to be rendered for one of the crimes for consolidated punishment, no other punishment except a fine, petty fine and confiscation may be imposed.

When the crimes for consolidated punishment include two or more crimes punishable by imprisonment for a definite term, the maximum term of the punishment to be imposed for such crimes is the term obtained by adding half of the maximum term prescribed for the crime of the severest punishment, but not exceeding the total of the maximum terms of the punishments prescribed for each of the crimes.

①A fine and other punishments are imposed cumulatively, except in the case prescribed in paragraph (1) of Article 46.

②The maximum amount of a fine to be imposed for a crime for consolidated punishment is not to exceed the total of the maximum amount of the fine prescribed for each crime.

①With respect to the crimes for consolidated punishment, even when confiscation is not imposed for the crime of the severest punishment, confiscation may be imposed for the other crimes if there are grounds to do so.

②Two or more confiscations are imposed cumulatively.

When the punishment for one of the crimes for consolidated punishment has become final and binding, a punishment is rendered to the other crimes.

①When two or more punishments have been rendered in regard to the crimes for consolidated punishment, the punishments are executed cumulatively; provided, however, that when the death penalty is to be executed, no other punishment except confiscation is executed, and when imprisonment for life is to be executed, no other punishment except a fine, petty fine and confiscation is executed.

②When two or more punishments of imprisonment for a definite term are executed in accordance with the preceding paragraph, the maximum term to be executed may not exceed the term obtained by adding half of the maximum term prescribed for the crime of the greatest punishment.

When a person who has been sentenced for crimes for consolidated punishment is granted general amnesty for any of such crimes, the punishment to be executed for the other crimes is redetermined.

①Penal detention or a petty fine is imposed cumulatively with other punishments; provided, however, that the same does not apply in the cases prescribed for in Article 46.

②Two or more penal detentions or petty fines are imposed cumulatively.

①When a single act constitutes two or more separate crimes, or when an act as the means or results of a crime constitutes another crime, the most severe punishment prescribed for such crimes is imposed.

②The provision of paragraph (2) of Article 49 applies in the case prescribed for in the preceding paragraph.
