Questione giuridica chiave
Whether Swiss law or Italian law governs the predicate offense and limitation period for Swiss receiving-stolen-property offenses committed in Switzerland
Decisione estratta
Swiss criminal law governs because the receiving offense was committed exclusively in Switzerland; the foreign predicate offense is assessed under Swiss law for penalty comparison.
Motivazione estratta
Receiving stolen property is an independent offense. Although limited accessoriness applies, the foreign predicate offense does not control the Swiss punishment scale or limitation rules for a receipt offense committed in Switzerland. Otherwise identical Swiss conduct would be treated differently depending on foreign law, contrary to legal equality.
