Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant had standing to bring a federal nullity complaint as principal private prosecutor
Solution extraite
Yes. Under Zurich procedure for honour offenses, the private prosecutor replaces the public prosecutor from the outset, so standing existed under Art. 270 lit. g BStP.
Motifs extraits
Because the public prosecutor was not entitled to prosecute under cantonal law, the complainant qualified as a principal private prosecutor and could lodge the nullity complaint.
