The court affirmed the decision to grant definitive legal clearance (definitive Rechtsöffnung) for a civil claim of Fr. 320,000 based on the debtor's explicit acknowledgment of the debt made before a criminal court, even though the debtor later argued the criminal court only noted the acknowledgment. The court reasoned that the debtor's renewal and specification of the acknowledgment during the criminal proceedings, where the civil claim was raised adhesively by the private prosecutor, constituted a judicial debt acknowledgment equivalent to a judgment under Article 80 Abs. 2 of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Law (SchKG), thereby qualifying as a definitive title for enforcement, especially since the amount was clearly ascertainable from the criminal court records.
