Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the objective elements of attempted coercion of a government councillor were met
Decisione estratta
Yes. The threats linked to the request for a personal meeting were objectively suitable to pressure the councillor into agreeing to an official act.
Motivazione estratta
The councillor was a member of an authority and the defendant sought to make her speak with him in her official capacity. His references to causing damage, Escholzmatt, and coming to St. Gallen were reasonably understood as a serious threat if the meeting was refused.
