Omnilex summary

The Pretura penale, after an objection to a summary penal decree, noted that the complainant withdrew the complaint at the hearing. On that basis, Judge Marco Ambrosini ordered the criminal proceeding struck off the docket and sent the file back to the public prosecutor for the matters within his competence. The court further ordered that taxes and costs be borne by the State.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 31 cpv. 1 and 123 n. 1 CP; withdrawal of the complaint during the hearing leads to discontinuance of the criminal proceeding and removal from the docket. Once the private complaint is withdrawn, the court may no longer pursue the matter on the merits; the file is returned to the prosecution authority for any residual competence. Procedural costs may be charged to the State where the proceeding is terminated on that basis (consid. unspecified).
