Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant was entitled to compensation for defense costs under Art. 429 CPP despite acquittal
Decisione estratta
No; compensation could be refused because he had unlawfully and culpably caused the opening and continuation of the proceedings by failing to report the funds.
Motivazione estratta
The failure to report a major asset transfer violated the reporting duty under the social assistance law, was at least negligent, and was causally linked to the investigation; refusal of compensation did not violate the presumption of innocence.
