BGH 5 StR 537/10•Compensation for undue delay after suspension of detention order
BGH 5 StR 537/10Bgh / Criminal Chamber 5Jan 11, 2011Dismissed
Extracted by Omnilex
The Federal Court rejected the defendant's revision against the Bremen Regional Court judgment. It upheld the lower court's decision overall, but corrected the compensation for an undue procedural delay: the court had not sufficiently considered that the defendant had complied with significant reporting obligations between 15 February 2006 and 8 November 2007. As a result, five months of imprisonment are to be treated as already served. The defendant must also bear the costs of the appeal and the necessary expenses incurred by the private complainant.
§§ 349 Abs. 2, 349 Abs. 4, 354 Abs. 1 StPO; compensation for rechtsstaatswidrige delay in sentencing review proceedings. In assessing compensatory relief for an unlawful procedural delay, the court must comprehensively weigh all delay-relevant burdens borne by the accused, including substantial reporting obligations during a suspension of a detention order. If the lower court fails to do so, the reviewing court may itself correct the compensation determination by deeming a specific portion of imprisonment as served. The compensatory determination is part of the sentence review and may be adjusted without otherwise disturbing the judgment, consid. relevant to the delay compensation assessment.

Rechtsstaatswidrige Verfahrensverzögerung: Kompensation bei Außervollzugsetzung eines Haftbefehls
Die Revision des Angeklagten gegen das Urteil des Landgerichts Bremen vom 6. August 2010 wird nach § 349 Abs. 2 StPO mit der Maßgabe (§ 349 Abs. 4 StPO) als unbegründet verworfen, dass fünf Monate Freiheitsstrafe als vollstreckt gelten.
Der Beschwerdeführer hat die Kosten des Rechtsmittels und die dadurch dem Nebenkläger entstandenen notwendigen Auslagen zu tragen.
Das Landgericht hat bei seiner Kompensationsentscheidung nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt, dass der Angeklagte vom 15. Februar 2006 bis zum 8. November 2007 erhebliche Meldeauflagen erfüllte (vgl. BVerfG – Kammer – NJW 2006, 668, 669). Dies korrigiert der Senat entsprechend § 354 Abs. 1 StPO.

Whether the defendant's revision against the Bremen Regional Court judgment was successful.
The revision was rejected as unfounded, subject to a correction of the compensation for undue delay.
The Supreme Court found no basis for setting aside the conviction, but it corrected the lower court's compensation assessment under the procedural rules.
Whether the lower court adequately compensated for the rechtsstaatswidrige delay in light of the defendant's reporting duties from 2006 to 2007.
No. The lower court did not sufficiently take into account that the defendant complied with substantial reporting obligations during the relevant period; five months of imprisonment are deemed served.
The period of compliance with the reporting duties had compensatory significance and had to be considered in the overall compensation for the delay.
