Key legal question
Whether the appellant had standing to appeal the non-prosecution decision before the Federal Supreme Court.
Extracted holding
He lacked standing because he did not show civil claims and, as a sibling not living with the deceased and without particularly close ties, could not rely on moral-damage claims under Art. 47 CO.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 81 para. 1 lit. b no. 5 LTF requires potential civil claims; the appellant alleged none. In any event, siblings normally obtain moral damages only in exceptional cases, especially absent a common household and exceptionally close contacts.
