Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant had standing to challenge the non-prosecution decision before the Federal Supreme Court
Solution extraite
He lacked standing because he had no civil claims affected by the challenged decision.
Motifs extraits
In criminal matters, a private complainant must show that the decision may affect civil claims. Claims under public liability law against the canton are not civil claims under Art. 81(1)(b)(5) BGG, and personal liability of the police officer and his superiors is excluded under Bernese law.
