Kernrechtsfrage
Whether pre-1995 uncovered Postcard withdrawals fall under Art. 148 nStGB under the lex mitior principle
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The new offence of check and credit card misuse was the milder law and therefore applied to conduct committed before 1 January 1995 but judged afterward.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court compared the old theft provision with the new card-misuse provision and found the new regime clearly milder because the same conduct would be a crime under the old law but only a misdemeanor under the new law.
