If a person breaches the duties of his profession, craft, industrial or commercial activity and is sentenced for such violation to a penalty restricting his freedom for at least (6) six months, the court may prohibit him from practising his job for a period not exceeding (2) two years. However, if within the (5) five years subsequent to the issuance of a final prohibition judgment, he commits the same crime again, the court must order the prohibition for a period not less than one year and not exceeding (5) five years. The prohibition period shall start as of the day on which the execution of penalty is completed or forfeited for any reason. Such a measure may suffice in lieu of the penalty originally prescribed for the crime.
