Key legal question
Whether Art. 346 ff. StGB govern jurisdiction over compensation claims for defense costs after discontinuance of proceedings.
Extracted holding
No. Such compensation claims arise from cantonal public law, not from federal criminal law; the inter-cantonal jurisdiction rules therefore do not apply.
Extracted reasoning
The court distinguished between the federal rules on criminal venue and the separate cantonal-law basis of compensation claims after discontinuance. Only claims against federal authorities would follow a different regime.
