Key legal question
Whether Art. 146 StGB applied to the attempted deception of the Zurich tax authority for an inheritance-tax release
Extracted holding
Art. 146 StGB did not apply; the complaint succeeded on this point.
Extracted reasoning
Fiscal offences are primarily governed by special cantonal rules. The alleged conduct fell within the cantonally regulated tax context and could not be requalified as ordinary fraud merely because the cantonal offence did not expressly cover a tax release request.
