Question juridique clé
Whether the Federal Prosecutor's appeal in a medicinal-products case was admissible despite being signed by the deputy head of the legal service.
Solution extraite
The appeal was inadmissible because only the Federal Prosecutor, not the legal service, was authorized to file a complaint in criminal matters to the Federal Supreme Court in such notified cases.
Motifs extraits
Art. 81(2) BGG grants standing to the Federal Prosecutor, but the relevant regulations do not extend that standing to the legal service. A defect in signature could not be cured under Art. 42(5) BGG.
