Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated § 43 StPO/ZH by denying compensation for alleged wage loss and employment damage caused by the arrest and detention.
Extracted holding
The denial was upheld because the employment termination was not shown to be adequately caused by the arrest; the claimed further loss was therefore not compensable.
Extracted reasoning
The court accepted the lower court's assessment that the dismissal was due to the applicant's own conduct, not the arrest, and that the applicant failed to prove the necessary causal link and damage with sufficient substantiation.
