Key legal question
Whether early execution of sentence should be granted under Zurich criminal procedure.
Extracted holding
Yes. The refusal was unlawful and the appellant was entitled to early execution.
Extracted reasoning
Section 71a(3) StPO/ZH does not require a complete confession. The decisive point is whether the purpose of proceedings is endangered. Given the completed investigation, prior confrontations, partial confession, imminent trial, and lack of concrete collusion or escape risks, refusal was disproportionate.
