Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the transfer of assets was a donation or a fiduciary arrangement
Decisione estratta
The cantonal court could, without arbitrariness, reject the donation thesis and accept a fiduciary transfer aimed at hiding assets from the tax authorities.
Motivazione estratta
The surrounding circumstances, the family history, the banking steps taken, and the timing after tax problems supported fiduciary transfer; the donation version was not plausible.
