Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the defendant had the status of a manager under Art. 158 StGB and committed unfaithful management by paying himself from the spouses' account
Decisione estratta
He was at least a de facto manager with sufficient autonomy over the assets, and his self-payment from the spouses' account breached his duty of care.
Motivazione estratta
A manager need not have formal sole-signature power; de facto independent control over a significant asset complex suffices. The harm lay in causing a damaging debit to the spouses' account to satisfy a disputed claim.
