Key legal question
Whether the complainant had standing to bring a federal nullity complaint as principal private prosecutor
Extracted holding
Yes. Under Zurich procedure for honour offenses, the private prosecutor replaces the public prosecutor from the outset, so standing existed under Art. 270 lit. g BStP.
Extracted reasoning
Because the public prosecutor was not entitled to prosecute under cantonal law, the complainant qualified as a principal private prosecutor and could lodge the nullity complaint.
