Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a person cited to appear in view of possible indictment has standing to request recusal of the investigating judge.
Extrahierter Entscheid
At that stage, the person is not yet a party to the criminal proceedings and therefore lacks standing to file a recusal request.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under cantonal law, only a party or counsel may seek recusal. The court held that a mere summons in view of indictment does not equal an indictment itself; the latter requires sufficient charges and triggers full adversarial rights. Since indictment may still be abandoned after hearing the person, party status cannot be recognized in advance.
