Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the prosecution was time-barred
Decisione estratta
The offences were not time-barred because the sentencing administrative decision of 17 November 2006 stopped the limitation period.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 97(3) StGB / former Art. 70(3) aStGB, limitation no longer runs once a first-instance conviction has been issued; the cantonal penalty order qualified as such a conviction in limitation terms.
