Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal was admissible despite non-payment of the required security deposit.
Solution extraite
No. The appellant did not pay the required CHF 550 security within the set time and did not request an extension or restitution of the time limit.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 383(1)–(2) CPP, the appeal authority may require security from the private complainant, and failure to provide it in time leads to non-entry into the appeal.
