Question juridique clé
Whether the private complainant had standing to appeal the acquittals in criminal matters before the Federal Supreme Court.
Solution extraite
The company lacked standing because the criminal claim belongs to the State and, as a mere injured party and private complainant, it had no legally protected interest under Art. 81 BGG.
Motifs extraits
A private complainant who is not a victim under Art. 81(1)(b)(5) BGG and who is not entitled to conduct the private prosecution without the public prosecutor cannot derive standing from having participated in the cantonal proceedings or from civil claims asserted therein.
