Key legal question
Whether the criminal law appeal against the indictment decree was admissible despite being filed late and before a final cantonal decision.
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible because it was late and was not directed against a final cantonal decision of last instance; the decree of accusation was neither a final decision nor separately appealable as an incidental decision.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant had already lodged opposition, which had been transmitted to the criminal court and was likely still pending. He also filed a cantonal appeal that had been rejected as late. Accordingly, the challenged decree did not end the proceedings and could not be reviewed by the Federal Supreme Court.
