Kernrechtsfrage
Whether judge Y. had to be recused because of the denunciation of 3 September 2004 and alleged links with judge A.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The recusal request was unfounded because the denunciation contained no substantiated basis showing bias or unlawful conduct by judge Y., and the alleged personal ties with judge A. were mere conjecture.
Extrahierte Begründung
A denunciation against the judge in another matter does not, by itself, justify recusal in the present case. Likewise, unproven and unspecified assertions of personal ties cannot establish an appearance of partiality.
