Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the criminal complaint was filed within the 30-day statutory time limit
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The filing was made only when handed to the Swiss Post on 25 October 2013, after the deadline expired on 21 October 2013.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 100(1) BGG the appeal must be lodged within 30 days, and under Art. 48(1) BGG it is timely only if filed with the Federal Supreme Court or handed to the Swiss Post by the last day. Posting it in Germany on the last day did not suffice.
