Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the required security for costs.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Because the required security was not paid within the final deadline, the appellate court could not enter into the merits of the appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 383(1) and (2) CPP, the appeal authority may require security and must declare the appeal inadmissible if the security is not furnished in time. The appellants failed to comply even after extensions.
