Key legal question
Whether the criminal complaint/request for prosecution was valid despite being titled as a police report
Extracted holding
The written filing, signed by B.________ and addressed to the investigating authority, expressed the victim's will to prosecute and therefore qualified as a valid criminal complaint.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that federal law governs whether the content amounts to a complaint, while cantonal law governs form. The text used first-person plural and expressly requested prosecution; B.________'s signature and the context showed his personal intent.
