Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the first-instance provisional release decision could be directly appealed to the Federal Supreme Court or had to be challenged through the cantonal appellate route first.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Because the Zürich High Court functioned as a cantonal appellate instance, the Federal Supreme Court had to be seized only after the cantonal remedy was exhausted; the direct appeal against the first-instance decision was inadmissible, but the appeal against the cantonal decision allowed review of the first-instance decision as well.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the new Federal Supreme Court Act, cantons must provide two instances with at least equivalent review. In Zürich, the cantonal appeal route remained open and the first-instance ruling had to be jointly challenged for issues not fully reviewed by the High Court.
