Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the slaps constituted abuse of office under Art. 312 SCC
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The force was exercised under the mantle of official authority and only possible because X was acting as a police officer in custody of the victim.
Extrahierte Begründung
The victim remained under police supervision during medical treatment; in that concrete situation a private person could not have acted in the same way. The conduct therefore appeared as an exercise of official power, even though it served no official purpose.
