Questão jurídica principal
Whether the criminal complaint period for the 2004-06-08 email could be extended by later similar statements as a single offense.
Decisão extraída
The complaint had to be limited to the already committed act of 2004-06-08; later statements could not revive or extend the complaint period, and the alleged offenses were not continuing offenses.
Fundamentação extraída
A criminal complaint expresses the wish to prosecute a specific completed act. It can be limited to particular acts, but prosecution can only be requested for offenses already committed. Only continuing offenses may be covered by a complaint filed before completion. The later statements on 2004-06-30, 2004-09-07, and 2004-09-24 were separate events and did not form a unit allowing the complaint to extend retroactively.
