Kernrechtsfrage
Whether venue should remain in canton X under the statutory rule or be transferred to canton Y for reasons of convenience.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The statutory venue in canton X remained applicable; no exceptional grounds justified fixing venue in canton Y.
Extrahierte Begründung
The offenses were punishable by the same penalty and the investigation was first opened in canton X, so Art. 350 No. 1 para. 2 StGB made canton X competent. A deviation under Art. 263 BStP requires exceptional circumstances. The mere arithmetic comparison that more offenses and a higher aggregate damage occurred in canton Y does not establish the center of gravity of the criminal activity; no other relevant circumstances were shown.
