Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the defendant's hemp trade constituted a serious case under Art. 19 no. 2 lit. c BetmG due to commercial activity and significant profit.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The defendant acted commercially and actually realized an appreciable profit, so the serious-case qualification was upheld.
Motivazione estratta
The defendant devoted substantial time and means to cultivation, harvesting, drying, and marketing, structured his farm to generate regular income from hemp, and achieved a turnover of CHF 33,700. The court held that a profit around CHF 20,000 is significant in light of the jurisprudential benchmark and that the duration of the activity is irrelevant to assessing the seriousness of the profit.
