Question juridique clé
Whether the recusal request against the investigating prosecutor and other Basel-Stadt prosecutors was justified due to alleged bias from professional proximity to a private-claimant prosecutor.
Solution extraite
The request was unfounded; mere employment in the same prosecution office or general department does not, without additional concrete circumstances, create an appearance of bias.
Motifs extraits
Objectively, a collegial or professional relationship alone is insufficient for recusal under Art. 56 lit. f StPO and Art. 29 Abs. 1 BV. No special friendship, hostility, or other concrete facts showing partiality were established.
