Criminal appeal dismissed without raising procedural objection to use of statements made to investigating judge

The Federal Court of Justice (6th Criminal Senate) dismissed the defendant's appeal as unfounded, upholding the conviction and sentence imposed by the Regional Court of Schwerin on February 23, 2022, and ordered the appellant to bear the costs of the appeal and the necessary expenses incurred by the auxiliary plaintiff. The dispute concerned a criminal prosecution in which the appellant challenged the lower court's judgment, with the appellate court noting for clarification that no procedural objection was raised regarding the use of statements made to the investigating judge. The decision stands on the basis of the general grounds for cassation, specifically the assessment that the arguments presented failed to demonstrate any legal error in the first-instance judgment, thereby leaving the original criminal judgment in full force.
