Questão jurídica principal
Whether buying, storing, and brokering cutting agents constitutes preparatory conduct under Art. 19 Ziff. 1 Abs. 6 BetmG
Decisão extraída
Only a person who intends to commit the drug offense himself or as a co-perpetrator can 'take steps' within Art. 19 Ziff. 1 Abs. 6 BetmG; preparing another person's offense is at most aiding and abetting and is not punishable as attempted participation.
Fundamentação extraída
The court reaffirmed BGE 130 IV 131: the preparatory offense requires the actor's own plan to commit the principal BetmG offense. The BetmG does not create a separate offense for selling or brokering cutting agents with knowledge of their intended use.
