Key legal question
Whether the criminal appeal to the Federal Supreme Court was filed within the statutory time limit.
Extracted holding
No. The appeal was lodged long after the 30-day deadline and was therefore inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 100(1) LTF, an appeal must be filed within 30 days after service of the complete decision. Since notification occurred in June 2013 and the appeal was posted only on 2014-05-15, it was manifestly late and could be dismissed summarily under Art. 108(1)(a) LTF.
