Key legal question
Whether the revision request was admissible based on allegedly new facts and evidence concerning A.'s purchase of the Mercedes.
Extracted holding
The facts and evidence relied on were not new, because the trial court already knew of the German investigation's termination; any mistaken legal assessment of that fact was not a revision ground.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 385 StGB and Art. 368 para. 1 no. 1 StrV/BE, only facts or evidence not previously known to the court qualify as new. The lower court had already had the relevant information in the file, so revision could not be based on it.
