May I ask, my father has just completed his suspended sentence and probation last year. He was issued a certificate confirming the completion of the probation period. However, his criminal record has not been expunged, and in July, my father was arrested again for gambling. May I ask if the re-offense is considered an aggravating circumstance under criminal liability?I would like to inquire.
