Ihre früheren Vernehmungen und Ihre schriftlichen oder protokollierten Erklärungen werden durch Mitteilung ihres wesentlichen Inhalts oder durch Verlesung in der Hauptverhandlung eingeführt.
Es genügt, wenn etwa erforderliche Hinweise auf die Veränderung des rechtlichen Gesichtspunktes oder auf die Verwertung ahndungsverschärfender Umstände dem Verteidiger gegeben werden.
These are instructions on a summons to appear in court and describe what will happen if the person does not appear but is represented by a defence lawyer.
Would love some help on how to translate
"auf die Verwertung ahndungsverschärfender Umstände"

aggravating circumstances leading to a harsher penalty
It suffices if the defense counsel is given any necessary indications of the use of aggravating circumstances leading to a harsher penalty
Aggravating Circumstances | Wex | US Law
https://www.law.cornell.edu › Wex
Typically, the presence of an aggravating circumstance will lead to a harsher penalty for a convicted criminal. Some generally recognized aggravating circumstances include heinousness of the crime, lack of remorse, and prior conviction of another crime.

: > though unclear if this is a criminal case or administrative offences or 'misdemeanours' (Ordnungswidrigkeiten / OwiG) and thereby sending the translation in a different direction: like extra penalty points on a driving licenc/se or added admin. fine.

aggravating factor(s)
"It will suffice to inform the defense counsel of any changes in legal exposure or the application of aggravating factors."
You don't have to reiterate that aggravating factors lead to harsher penalties as that's already implied. See below:
"Aggravating Factor
Any fact or circumstance that increases the severity or culpability of a criminal act. Aggravating factors include recidivism, lack of remorse, amount of harm to the victim, or committing the crime in front of a child, among many others. The recognition of particular aggravating factors varies by jurisdiction."

exacerbating / aggravating circumstances
as opposed to extenuating circumstances
Discussion
Something like 'increased punishment' or 'excessively punitive'...?
