Key legal question
Whether the appeal had to be entered into despite the unpaid security advance.
Extracted holding
No. Because the required advance of costs was not paid within the deadline, the appeal was inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 383 para. 1-2 CPP, the appellate authority may require security for costs; if it is not provided in time, the appeal must not be considered. The appellant failed to pay by 2013-11-04.
