Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the objection to the penalty order was deemed withdrawn after the accused failed to appear for the second interrogation
Decisione estratta
No valid withdrawal could be inferred on these facts; the objection remained pending and had to be examined anew.
Motivazione estratta
A deemed withdrawal under Arts. 355(2) and 356(4) StPO requires that the accused knew the consequences, had been clearly warned in an understandable way, and that the absence objectively signaled a conscious waiver. The generic warning given here was insufficient, no real need for a second interrogation was shown, and the accused had consistently insisted on judicial review.
