Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the accused could be charged with investigation costs for allegedly violating enforcement-law duties and causing the criminal proceedings.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The lower court could attribute the opening of the investigation to conduct amounting to a creditor-prejudicing transaction under the enforcement statutes, so the cost order was not arbitrary.
Extrahierte Begründung
The hidden agreement showed an intention to remove the property from the books and a possible bankruptcy estate. The transfer was used to satisfy the accused's claim, which could disadvantage other creditors; the argument that the purchase price matched the appraised value did not exclude a creditor prejudice in this context.
