Questione giuridica chiave
Whether prosecution was time-barred despite the 2005 conduct
Decisione estratta
No. The earlier reasoned decision of the Amtsstatthalteramt counted as a first-instance judgment, so limitation had ceased to run.
Motivazione estratta
For contraventions, limitation is three years, but it stops after a first-instance conviction. The cantonal authority's reasoned decision after investigation and file access had equivalent first-instance effect.
