Key legal question
Whether the complainant had standing to file the federal criminal appeal against the cantonal decision.
Extracted holding
He had no standing because he was neither a private prosecutor nor a victim directly affected in his physical, psychological, or sexual integrity; as an injured party only, he could not appeal.
Extracted reasoning
The alleged offenses did not directly affect an interest protected by victim status under the Victim Assistance Act, and he had not prosecuted the case without participation of the public prosecutor. The appeal was therefore inadmissible under the Federal Supreme Court Act.
