Kernrechtsfrage
Whether delayed payment of family support after the debtor knew he could not offset the claim constitutes neglect of support under Art. 217 StGB
Extrahierter Entscheid
The debtor must pay at the due date once he knows of the obligation; a further unjustified delay after the legal opening decision can satisfy Art. 217 StGB.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that criminal liability does not require repeated or long-lasting non-payment. After the legal opening decision, the respondent knew he could not set off and had to pay immediately. The later delay was not reasonably excused.
