Question juridique clé
Whether the federal criminal appeal against the cantonal freezing order was filed in time
Solution extraite
The appeal period expired on 30 April 2010; filing through the German Post on 29 April 2010 did not meet the Swiss filing requirement because it reached the Swiss Post only on 3 May 2010.
Motifs extraits
The challenged decision was a criminal procedural interim measure, so the suspension of time limits did not apply. Under the Federal Supreme Court Act, the appeal had to be filed with the Court or handed to the Swiss Post by the last day of the period.
