Key legal question
Whether the defamation complaint concerning alleged statements about killing the complainant's dog was timely under Article 31 CP.
Extracted holding
The complaint was filed about one year after the alleged statements were brought to the complainant's attention and was therefore time-barred.
Extracted reasoning
No objective indications showed that the accused had made the alleged remarks; in any event, the complainant waited well beyond the three-month complaint period of Art. 31 CP.
