Key legal question
Whether the DM 63 million were entrusted assets within the meaning of Art. 140 aStGB
Extracted holding
Yes. The money was handed over for a fixed-term deposit, creating a valid mandate and fiduciary duty to use it for that purpose.
Extracted reasoning
Entrustment exists when assets are received with instructions to use, hold, manage, or deliver them in a specified way. A valid contract was concluded, at least on an objective trust interpretation, and the deposit arrangement created a fiduciary management mandate.
