Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the criminal proceedings before another court had to be suspended until the customs investigation was closed
Decisione estratta
No. A pending investigation in another, separate matter does not bar trial of offences for which the investigation is already closed.
Motivazione estratta
The appealed tribunal found the proceedings before the criminal court unrelated to the still-open customs investigation. Suspension would improperly allow a person to delay judgment on closed matters by committing new offences.
