StPO; 10. Titel: Verfahrenskosten, Entschädigung und Genugtuung; 3. Kapitel: Entschädigung und Genugtuung
Art. 431 StPO · Entschädigung und Genugtuung wegen rechtswidrig angewandter Zwangsmassnahmen und überlanger Haft
Sind gegenüber der beschuldigten Person rechtswidrig Zwangsmassnahmen angewandt worden, so spricht ihr die Strafbehörde eine angemessene Entschädigung und Genugtuung zu.
Im Fall von Untersuchungs- und Sicherheitshaft besteht der Anspruch, wenn die zulässige Haftdauer überschritten ist und der übermässige Freiheitsentzug nicht an die wegen anderer Straftaten ausgesprochenen Sanktionen angerechnet werden kann.
Der Anspruch nach Absatz 2 entfällt, wenn die beschuldigte Person: a. zu einer Geldstrafe, zu gemeinnütziger Arbeit oder zu einer Busse verurteilt wird, die umgewandelt eine Freiheitsstrafe ergäbe, die nicht wesentlich kürzer wäre als die ausgestandene Untersuchungs- und Sicherheitshaft; b. zu einer bedingten Freiheitsstrafe verurteilt wird, deren Dauer die ausgestandene Untersuchungs- und Sicherheitshaft überschreitet.
