Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the criminal complaint against Y. and Z. was filed within the three-month deadline under Art. 31 CP
Decisione estratta
The complainant knew the authors and the relevant facts by June 2007 at the latest; the complaint filed on 28 August 2008 was therefore out of time.
Motivazione estratta
The limitation period starts when the entitled person has sufficient knowledge of the offender and the act to assess the chances of success. The Federal Court found no arbitrariness in the cantonal assessment of the evidence showing such knowledge long before the filing date.
