Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal to open criminal investigations against B.X., C. and D. was unlawful
Decisione estratta
No. The allegations relating to the 1986-1987 transactions were time-barred, and no concrete suspicion was shown against D.
Motivazione estratta
The alleged coercion, extortion and fraud were not continuing offences; any punishable acts were already time-barred. As to D., the complaint did not specify concrete acts amounting to breach of trust. Therefore the authorities could refuse to open proceedings under both the former Schwyz procedure and Art. 310 CPC.
