Key legal question
Whether the cantonal criminal authorities committed a denial of justice by delaying action on the applicant's denunciations.
Extracted holding
No unreasonable delay was shown at the time of the cantonal decision; the investigation was linked to other pending proceedings and the investigating judge had not remained inactive.
Extracted reasoning
The constitutional right to a decision within a reasonable time requires an objective assessment of complexity, stakes, party conduct, and authority conduct. Here, progress depended on related civil and administrative proceedings, and there was no proven inactivity or legally cognizable suspension.
