Tokens: The
need
for
a
temporal
connection
between
the
individual
acts
has
also
been
asserted
by
the
Grand
Chamber
.
This
element
is
certainly
to
be
examined
in
the
circumstances
of
each
case
,
without
any
predefined
time‑limit[27
]
.
Nevertheless
,
according
to
the
Grand
Chamber
’s
own
logic
,
an
inherent
time
-
limit
must
be
inferred
from
the
fact
that
the
individual
acts
must
be
interconnected
to
such
a
degree
that
they
disclose
the
continuing
existence
of
the
same
external
favourable
context
for
the
commission
of
the
offences
and
of
the
overall
criminal
purpose
,
and
concomitantly
disclose
a
homogenous
,
lesser
degree
of
guilt
on
the
part
of
the
offender
.
In
any
case
,
the
longer
the
timespan
between
the
individual
acts
,
the
looser
the
psychological
relationship
between
them
,
the
greater
the
offender
’s
guilt
and
therefore
the
less
likely
that
the
acts
will
be
dealt
with
as
a
continuous
offence
.
