Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the subsidiary constitutional complaint against the refusal of authorization to prosecute was admissible.
Decisione estratta
The complaint was admissible as a subsidiary constitutional complaint against a political authority's refusal of authorization, even though the matter had a criminal-law background.
Motivazione estratta
The authorization decision concerned the prosecution of a member of a canton's higher judiciary for official acts. The federal court held that such a decision is predominantly political and therefore excluded from ordinary public-law appeal, leaving only subsidiary constitutional complaint.
