Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant, as a non-victim, could challenge the dismissal of criminal proceedings in a criminal-law appeal.
Solution extraite
No. As a mere injured party without LAVI victim status, he lacked a legally protected interest in the opening of public prosecution and could not raise merits-based grievances.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Supreme Court held that constitutional complaints in this context must be examined as a criminal appeal under the LTF, but a non-victim may only invoke violations of procedural party rights, not the evaluation of evidence or the merits. His arguments attacked factual findings and evidentiary assessment, which are inseparable from the merits.
