Key legal question
Whether the appellant qualified for legal aid under Art. 152 OJ
Extracted holding
He did not qualify because, despite debts, he had immovable property and movable assets exceeding CHF 120,000 and could pay the federal proceedings costs without affecting his necessary minimum subsistence.
Extracted reasoning
Indigence was not established; a prior case recognizing indigence did not entitle him to legal aid again outside the statutory regime.
