Key legal question
Whether the appeals had to be entered into despite non-payment of the ordered security.
Extracted holding
No. Because the appellants failed to provide the required security within the set time limit and did not seek an extension or restoration, the appeals were inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 383 para. 1 CPP, the appellate authority may require security for possible costs and indemnities. If it is not provided in time, the authority does not enter into the appeal under Art. 383 para. 2 CPP.
