Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the conduct constituted unlawful deprivation of liberty under Art. 183 StGB despite the limited opportunity to stop during the drive.
Decisione estratta
Yes. A forced car ride over the relevant distance and duration satisfied the required seriousness; it was irrelevant that safe stopping points became limited after the trip had begun.
Motivazione estratta
The defendant used physical force and threats to make the victim enter and remain in the car. He knew she was not acting voluntarily before the drive started. The length and character of the route, including the motorway section and the approximately 8.9 km until the first stop, made the deprivation sufficiently serious.
