Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the applicant had victim status under the Victim Assistance Act after false criminal accusations
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. In the exceptional circumstances of the case, the calumnious denunciation caused a direct and objectively significant psychological injury.
Extrahierte Begründung
False accusations of participation in a grave robbery, sustained over time and coupled with the concrete risk of a heavy prison sentence, were objectively capable of directly affecting mental integrity; the applicant also showed anxiety requiring medical treatment.
