Questione giuridica chiave
Whether repayment of a due loan to an organ-creditor qualifies as creditor-damaging asset reduction under Art. 164 StGB
Decisione estratta
No. Repayment of a due and enforceable loan extinguishes a corresponding liability and is neither gratuitous nor against a prestation of obviously lesser value.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 164 StGB lists exhaustively the punishable acts. A loan repayment is not equivalent to a gratuitous disposition merely because the creditor is also an organ of the debtor company; Art. 172 StGB only transfers the debtor status, not a fictitious lack of consideration.
