Kernrechtsfrage
Whether X. had standing to bring a criminal law appeal under Art. 81 LTF as a victim with civil claims affected by the dismissal
Extrahierter Entscheid
X. was a victim, but he had no civil claims against Y. personally; therefore he lacked standing to appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Swiss case law, only civil claims based on private law count for standing. In Geneva, police officers act as cantonal officials and the canton, not the officer, is liable under the state liability act. Since there is no direct action against the officer, the appellant had no civil claim against Y.
