Questão jurídica principal
Whether the lower court violated the presumption of innocence and in dubio pro reo by shifting the burden of proof regarding receipt of payment reminders.
Decisão extraída
No. The cantonal court relied on several circumstantial indications to infer receipt of the reminders and did not require the appellant to prove his innocence.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Court held that indirect proof through concrete indicia is permissible. The challenged reasoning showed an evidentiary assessment, not an unlawful allocation of the burden of proof.
