6B_453/2025 – Quashing of the conviction for begging due to a violation of the principle of proportionality

Sep 17, 2026, 12:00 AM · Bundesklar Redaktion

It follows from the foregoing that the conviction of the appellant under Art. 11A LPG/GE must be quashed, as this interference with her fundamental rights does not meet the requirement of proportionality.

Since this defect cannot be remedied under the concrete circumstances, not only must the conviction of the appellant be quashed, but the appellant must also be acquitted and the case remitted to the cantonal court solely for it to render a new decision on the costs and party compensation of the cantonal proceedings.
