Key legal question
Whether the criminal cassation complaint was admissible despite objections to representation and timing.
Extracted holding
The complaint was timely and the German lawyer's representation was permissible; however, complaints directed at the first-instance judgment or at cantonal procedural matters were inadmissible.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that only the last cantonal decision may be challenged and that the cassation complaint can invoke only federal criminal law, not cantonal procedural law. The 30-day time limit was met.
