Key legal question
Whether the appellants had standing to challenge the non-opening of criminal proceedings
Extracted holding
They lacked standing because they had no legally protected interest as mere injured persons who were neither private prosecutors nor victims under the Victim Support Act.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 81(1)(b) BGG, standing requires a legally protected interest. The appellants were not private prosecutors and were not victims within Art. 2(1) OHG, since no direct impairment of physical, sexual, or psychological integrity was shown.
