Rejection of criminal revision: no legal error found in appellate review of Regional Court judgment under 5 StR

The German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) rejected the defendant's appeal as unfounded, upholding the Leipzig Regional Court's conviction and sentencing from May 18, 2022, and ordering the defendant to bear the costs of the legal remedy. The dispute involved a criminal proceeding where the defendant challenged the first-instance judgment, with the appellate court noting that the appeal contained substantive factual objections requiring review under the "Sachrüge" doctrine, thereby preventing a dismissal for inadmissibility. The decisive legal basis was the finding that the review based on the appellant's arguments revealed no errors of law to the defendant's detriment, resulting in the affirmation of the lower court's decision.
