Kernrechtsfrage
Whether gang theft under Art. 139 no. 3 StGB requires at least three participants
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Gang membership can exist with two offenders if they combine with the will to commit multiple independent offences and form a sufficiently stable team.
Extrahierte Begründung
The statute sets no minimum number. The relevant feature is the special dangerousness created by the association; that danger may already arise in a two-person group if there is repeated cooperation, coordination, or a stable division of tasks. A rigid threshold of three would be only an apparent solution.
