Article 114 — Aggravated offences how charged and procedure.

(I) Where an accused person may be charged with an aggravated offence by reason of previous convictions, he shall be charged with the unaggravated offence and the charge shall be filed in the court having jurisdiction to try the aggravated offence. (2) Where the accused is convicted of the unaggravated offence the public prosecutor may, after conviction and before sentence, prove the previous convictions of the accused which, had they been proved at the trial, would have resulted in his conviction of the aggravated offence. The court may sentence him as though he had been convicted accordingly.
