Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the embezzlement in dossiers 2 and 3 was qualified because it was committed in the exercise of the legal profession.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The lawyer acted in the context of professional legal work and benefitted from the trust attached to his licensed profession.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that Art. 138 Ziff. 2 StGB covers a lawyer when the entrusted assets were received in connection with anwaltstypische activity. In both dossiers, the transactions were linked to legal advice, a mandate, use of the law office, and conduct as attorney, not merely private asset management or company management.
