Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the criminal complaint was filed within the statutory time limit under Art. 31 StGB
Decisione estratta
The complaint period was deemed complied with because it could not be established that the injured party knew the offender's identity earlier.
Motivazione estratta
A complaint period starts only when the injured person personally has secure knowledge of both the offense and the perpetrator; mere suspicion or knowledge by a representative is insufficient. In case of doubt, the period is treated as complied with if there are no serious indications of earlier knowledge.
