Kernrechtsfrage
Whether preparatory acts under Art. 19(1)(6) BetmG can be qualified under Art. 19(2)(a) BetmG by drug quantity.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Preparatory acts to import several kilograms of cocaine may satisfy the qualified offense if the accused knew or had to assume the quantity could endanger the health of many people.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the quantity-based qualification requires both an objective drug quantity reaching the threshold and subjective awareness or acceptance of that quantity. It saw no reason to exclude qualified forms merely because the conduct consisted of preparatory acts, since Art. 19(1)(6) BetmG elevates such conduct to an autonomous offense. The non-delivery of the drugs did not prevent qualification.
