Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court arbitrarily reduced compensation under Art. 379 CPP/GE because of the applicant's conduct
Solution extraite
No arbitrariness was shown; the reduction was permissible because the applicant's unlawful entry and initial silence could be treated as causally relevant fault.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court held that, under cantonal compensation schemes, only fault causally linked to the prejudice may justify reduction. Here, entering Switzerland in breach of an entry ban and remaining silent initially created and maintained serious suspicion and could legitimately reduce compensation; mere silence is not fault absent abuse, but abuse was not decisive here.
