Question juridique clé
Whether the CHF 50,000 compensatory claim under Art. 59 ch. 2 CP should be reduced or abolished because of the appellant’s age and financial situation.
Solution extraite
The reduction to CHF 50,000 was not an abuse of discretion; the claim could stand because the appellant had a regular income and no concrete showing that payment would seriously endanger reintegration.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 59 ch. 2 al. 2 CP, total or partial waiver is allowed only if recovery is unlikely or the claim would seriously impede reintegration. The canton correctly made a global assessment, took age into account, and already reduced the claim substantially; the remaining amount was not shown to create the required concrete danger.
