Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court violated the presumption of innocence / in dubio pro reo in its assessment of the evidence.
Decisione estratta
No. The cantonal court did not shift the burden of proof and its evidentiary assessment was not arbitrary; no serious doubt remained.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court held that the challenged reasoning did not show any allocation of the burden of proof to the accused. The cantonal court had evaluated the witness statements as a whole and could conclude that the unemployment-benefit claim had been made with the accused's knowledge and approval. The factual findings were sustainable despite the defendant's alternative interpretation.
