Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the objection against the penal order was filed within the statutory time limit after deemed service
Decisione estratta
The penal order was deemed notified on 24 November 2011 because the appellant had to expect communications in the ongoing preliminary proceedings and did not collect the registered letter; the 13 December 2011 objection was therefore late.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 85(4)(a) CPP, deemed service applies when a registered letter is not collected and the addressee should expect service. The appellant had been informed she was a suspect in a preliminary criminal procedure, so she had to expect a penal order without prior hearing.
