Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the accused, although acquitted, had to bear costs because he allegedly triggered the investigation through negligent conduct.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Although some negligent or contract-breaching conduct may have existed, it did not causally justify the criminal proceedings because the statutory trademark offense was objectively not met.
Extrahierte Begründung
Costs cannot be shifted to the acquitted accused on the basis of conduct that was not legally relevant to the offense and was already insufficiently linked to the criminal investigation.
