Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the continued confinement of the complainant after recovery of the money still constituted kidnapping/unlawful detention under federal law.
Decisione estratta
Yes. After the money was recovered, any further confinement was no longer justified and remained unlawful because the complainant was not free to leave and only escaped after more than two hours.
Motivazione estratta
The right to detain a suspected thief lasts only as long as necessary for police intervention. The factual findings showed that the defendant kept the complainant locked in and frightened well beyond that period, so the elements of Art. 183 CP were met.
