Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal had to be declared inadmissible for failure to pay the required security deposit within the deadline.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The appellant did not pay the ordered deposit within the set time and did not seek an extension or restitution of time, so the appeal could not be heard.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 383(1) CPP the appellate authority may require security from the complainant; if it is not provided in time, Art. 383(2) CPP requires non-entry into the appeal. The notification of the deposit order was deemed effective after the postal holding period, and no timely payment followed.
