Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant was entitled to file an eidgenössische Nichtigkeitsbeschwerde as a private criminal prosecutor
Solution extraite
Yes. Basel-Landschaft private defamation proceedings are conducted without the public prosecutor, so the complainant was a principal private prosecutor entitled to appeal.
Motifs extraits
Under cantonal procedure the prosecution of defamation offences is solely a private action; therefore Art. 270 lit. g BStP applies.
