Key legal question
Whether the insurer's police report constituted a valid and timely criminal complaint for attempted deceitful damage to property under Art. 151 StGB.
Extracted holding
Yes. The insurer, through employees entrusted with protecting its assets, validly expressed an unconditional will to trigger criminal prosecution; the complaint was timely and covered the requalification from attempted insurance fraud to attempted deceitful damage to property.
Extracted reasoning
For corporate victims, complaint authority belongs to persons charged with safeguarding the relevant assets, not only formally registered signatories. A fraud complaint aimed at a concrete incident also serves as a complaint for another applicable property offense unless the circumstances show a narrower intent. No such limitation was shown here.
