Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the costs imposed on the acquitted accused were lawful under Art. 426(2) StPO.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cost order was unlawful because the judgment did not sufficiently show any clearly unlawful and culpable conduct that caused or complicated the proceedings.
Extrahierte Begründung
A cost order after acquittal requires a clearly established, civil-law-like breach of a behavioral norm and causation. The lower court relied on abstract moral criticism, mere suspicion of offenses, and conduct not shown to be unlawful under Swiss law.
