Questão jurídica principal
Meaning of persistent evasion of probation supervision under Art. 38 Ziff. 4 Abs. 2 StGB
Decisão extraída
Persistent evasion exists when the person intentionally or negligently makes supervision impossible by withholding his whereabouts or workplace, especially after warnings; repeated disappearance can suffice, and persistent intent may also be inferred from circumstances even without prior warnings.
Fundamentação extraída
The court relied on the limited case law and literature, held that motive and purpose are irrelevant, and stressed that the supervisory function is defeated once the authority no longer knows where the person is and must search for him. Persistence requires a documented will to evade supervision on a lasting basis; this can appear in prolonged disappearance or in clear indications of an unwavering refusal to accept supervision.
