Question juridique clé
Whether the conviction for child abduction under Art. 220 StGB should be overturned and the defendant acquitted or the case remitted.
Solution extraite
The complaint was manifestly unfounded; the appellate court's factual findings showed no arbitrariness, so the conviction stood.
Motifs extraits
The defendant largely repeated inadmissible appellate criticism. The Federal Court only reviews factual findings for manifest error or arbitrariness and found none in the assessment that no emergency justified withholding the children.
