Questione giuridica chiave
Whether costs may be imposed on the discontinued accused for allegedly norm-widely conduct causing the investigation.
Decisione estratta
Costs may be imposed only if the accused clearly violated a legal norm in a civil-law blameworthy way and thereby caused or aggravated the proceedings; that was not established here.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the conduct, as established and unrefuted by the record, was not shown to be non-consensual or otherwise civilly wrongful. The lower court's reasoning effectively relied on a criminal suspicion or blame, which is incompatible with the presumption of innocence.
