Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant could be charged with criminal investigation costs despite his acquittal.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cost allocation was permissible because his negligent failure to keep proper accounts causally triggered the criminal investigation and related expert evidence.
Extrahierte Begründung
A properly established violation of accounting duties can justify costs against an acquitted defendant without breaching the presumption of innocence, if the conduct is wrongful and causally connected to the expenses.
