Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the debt enforcement to collect a criminal fine and costs violated Art. 59(1) BV because Sutermeister had his residence in Zurich.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Art. 59(1) BV protects only civil claims; it does not apply to enforcement of criminal judgments, including monetary penalties.
Extrahierte Begründung
The proceeding enforced a final criminal judgment, not a personal civil claim. A fine remains a criminal sanction even if collected through ordinary debt enforcement. The enforcing canton may execute its own criminal judgment on its territory regardless of the convicted person's residence, subject to specific federal rules.
