Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the conduct attributed to the defendant constituted fraudulent bankruptcy under Art. 163 CP.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The facts found showed, at most, an effective depletion of assets or an omitted alarm duty, not a fictitious reduction of assets within Art. 163 CP.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 163 CP requires conduct that fictitiously reduces the assets available to creditors. Here, the false balance sheet showed more assets than reality, and the failure to recapitalize did not amount to a fictitious reduction. Any omission to report over-indebtedness would, in principle, fall under mismanagement rather than fraudulent bankruptcy.
