Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the defendant could be convicted under Art. 169 StGB for disposing of earnings subject to wage garnishment.
Decisione estratta
A conviction requires that the relevant income was actually earned during the garnishment period and that, after the debtor’s necessary subsistence needs, a garnishable portion existed; the lower court’s factual basis was wrong.
Motivazione estratta
The cantonal court misidentified the garnishment periods and failed to establish the income and subsistence facts for the legally relevant period, so the application of the law could not be reviewed.
