Tokens: Moreover
,
the
individual
acts
must
be
driven
by
the
same
,
renewed
criminal
purpose
,
in
the
sense
that
the
repetition
of
the
criminal
intent
must
be
determined
by
external
circumstances
that
favour
the
commission
of
the
offence
.
Here
,
the
Grand
Chamber
touches
upon
the
subjective
core
of
the
concept
,
and
two
main
conclusions
derive
from
this
subjective
requirement
.
Firstly
,
it
is
not
necessary
for
all
the
individual
acts
to
form
part
of
an
initial
plan
or
“
overall
intention
”
(
Gesamtvorsatz
)
[
22
]
.
It
suffices
for
each
new
individual
act
to
be
understood
as
a
purposeful
sequel
to
the
preceding
one
or
ones
(
Fortsetztungsvorsatz
or
erweiterter
Gesamtvorsatz
)
[
23
]
.
As
a
matter
of
principle
,
a
cold
-
blooded
offender
who
plans
the
commission
of
a
series
of
criminal
acts
in
advance
does
not
deserve
to
be
treated
better
,
in
terms
of
the
imputation
of
criminal
liability
and
sentencing
,
than
an
offender
who
did
not
plan
to
commit
the
successive
criminal
acts
but
could
not
resist
the
temptation
to
commit
them
in
the
same
favourable
external
context
.
As
the
Grand
Chamber
puts
it
clearly
,
“
the
individual
acts
do
not
have
to
be
planned
ab
initio
”
,
which
means
that
the
overall
mens
rea
underlying
the
various
individual
acts
need
not
be
present
at
the
commission
of
the
first
individual
act
or
even
when
each
individual
act
forming
part
of
the
legally
unified
conduct
is
committed
,
and
may
not
arise
until
the
final
individual
act
is
committed[24
