Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal to return the confiscated USB sticks should be annulled
Decisione estratta
The complaint failed because the appellant did not show that he owned the three USB sticks and the lower court's evidentiary assessment was not shown to be unlawful or arbitrary.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court deferred to the lower court's fact-finding under Art. 109 BGG. The burden to establish ownership could be placed on the appellant; his references to other items and to a staff member's remark did not undermine the finding. Without proven ownership, he lacked a legally protected interest in their further fate.
