Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the private complainants had standing to challenge the discontinuance order in criminal matters
Extrahierter Entscheid
They failed to show that the challenged decision could affect any civil claim; standing was therefore not established.
Extrahierte Begründung
A private complainant must, as a rule, explain in federal proceedings how the contested decision may affect a specific civil claim. The file contained no indication of such a claim, and the complainants merely relied on having filed a criminal complaint and being admitted as injured parties.
