Key legal question
Whether the production of counterfeit money with a nominal value of CHF 6,000 qualifies as a particularly light case under Art. 240(2) StGB.
Extracted holding
The case was not particularly light; the accused was guilty of money forgery under Art. 240(1) StGB.
Extracted reasoning
Particularly light cases must be applied restrictively. Although the notes were not of very good quality, they were not easily recognizable as fakes, the paper looked deceptively genuine, and the total nominal value of CHF 6,000 was no longer minor. Compared with the cited Federal Supreme Court case, the present conduct remained only relatively slight, not particularly light.
