Questione giuridica chiave
Whether first-instance costs could be charged to the complainant under Art. 427 para. 2 CPP
Decisione estratta
Yes. As an active private complainant in a complaint-based offense, she could be charged costs; the cantonal court did not abuse its discretion.
Motivazione estratta
She had joined as civil and criminal private complainant and actively participated; in a complaint-based case, such a party assumes the cost risk, especially given her vexatious/negligent initiation of proceedings.
