Kernrechtsfrage
When may procedural costs be imposed on the complainant under § 32(2) StPO?
Extrahierter Entscheid
Only where the complainant has knowingly or grossly negligently misled the investigating authorities by a false or exaggerated report; mere suspicion is insufficient.
Extrahierte Begründung
Cost shifting requires objectively causative and subjectively blameworthy conduct. The complainant must have had a justified basis for filing, but need not conduct a judicially rigorous investigation; restraint is required because the state has an interest in private reporting of offences.
