Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the complaint against the journalists was filed within the statutory three-month period and sufficiently designated the authors
Decisione estratta
The complaint against Y. and Z. was late because the complainant did not expressly name them as accused within the three-month period, although he knew their identities.
Motivazione estratta
Under former Art. 29 aCP, the period runs from knowledge of the offender. In press publication cases, the complainant must expressly designate the author if he knows who it is. The complainant initially targeted only the newspaper and its editor-in-chief, and only later extended the complaint to the journalists after the deadline.
