Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court could charge the complainant with investigation and court costs after acquittal
Solution extraite
The cost allocation was unlawful; the appellant had not acted vexatiously or unreasonably, nor had he caused the evidentiary failure.
Motifs extraits
The court found no justified trust in a contrary practice and held that the case was not a primarily private-law dispute. Fraud protects public interests too, and the state bore the burden of investigation and proof. Mere failure to seek civil interim evidence did not amount to procedural fault.
