Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the prosecution and sentence for disobedience of an official order were time-barred despite a first-instance judgment rendered before expiry but notified later.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Limitation did not expire, because for Article 97(3) StGB the relevant moment is the rendering of the first-instance judgment, not its notification; the time gap here could still be disregarded.
Extrahierte Begründung
Although about six months elapsed between judgment and service, the limitation period itself would have expired only months later. The exception for an unusually long gap applies only where expiry follows immediately after the judgment, which was not the case.
