Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the criminal appeal was filed within the federal deadline.
Decisione estratta
The appeal was filed too late because the deadline expired on 2007-10-10 and the filing reached the Swiss Post only on 2007-10-12.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 100(1) and Art. 48(1) LTF, timeliness requires delivery to the Federal Tribunal or Swiss Post by the last day of the period. Delivery to Posteitaliane on 2007-10-09 did not suffice.
