Questão jurídica principal
Whether costs could be imposed on the acquitted accused
Decisão extraída
No. The lower court did not sufficiently show any unlawful, culpable conduct causing the proceedings or increasing their costs.
Fundamentação extraída
Costs after acquittal require a clear civil-law-like breach of a behavioral norm and causation. The court's reliance on alleged general misconduct, smuggling-related contacts, and concealment was insufficient and partly unrelated to any proven Swiss legal violation.
