Question juridique clé
Whether refusing compensation after acquittal violated the presumption of innocence under Art. 32 BV and Art. 6(2) ECHR.
Solution extraite
No. The cantonal court did not attribute criminal guilt to the complainant; it only relied on civil-law blameworthiness.
Motifs extraits
The reasons for refusal referred to conduct that was civilly censurable and that could be assessed objectively as having triggered the criminal proceedings. This did not amount to a direct or indirect accusation of criminal guilt.
