Key legal question
Whether the applicant had standing to challenge the non-opening of criminal proceedings against officials and employees.
Extracted holding
He lacked standing to pursue the merits because he could not assert civil claims against the alleged offenders under cantonal state-liability rules.
Extracted reasoning
Damage caused by officials acting in an official capacity is governed by public-law liability of the state, not personal liability of the officials; therefore no civil claims against the accused persons existed.
