Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal appellate court could impose its costs on the complainant after dismissal of the criminal investigation.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Under the cited cantonal provisions, costs in a dismissed investigation are generally borne by the state, and the complainant may be charged only if he intentionally or grossly negligently made false statements; that was not alleged here.
Extrahierte Begründung
The appellate court relied only on the complainant's loss of the appeal. Because the statutory basis allowed cost shifting only in cases of intentionally or grossly false statements, the cost order was arbitrary and had to be annulled.
