Key legal question
Whether the cantonal Anklagekammer was competent to decide on prosecution authorization for the respondent's conduct.
Extracted holding
Yes. Because the alleged conduct was sufficiently connected to the respondent's official function as municipal president, the Anklagekammer could assess the authorization request.
Extracted reasoning
The respondent's activity as VSGP director was closely linked to his municipal office; treating the conduct as falling under the cantonal authorization regime was at least defensible.
