Key legal question
Whether the complaint about the composition of the cantonal court and recusal was admissible and founded.
Extracted holding
The complaint was inadmissible because the appellant had not exhausted cantonal remedies under the Criminal Procedure Code; in any event, the alleged circumstances did not objectively create an appearance of bias.
Extracted reasoning
A recusal challenge based on the judges' composition had to be raised under Art. 60(3) CPP. The appellant offered only unsupported assertions about connections with the cantonal bank and prior involvement in the case; these did not show objective grounds for doubt under Art. 30(1) Cst., Art. 6(1) ECHR, and Art. 56 let. f CPP.
