Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant had standing to bring the federal criminal appeal based on civil claims.
Decisão extraída
He failed to show any civil claims and, in any event, no direct civil action against the public official was available under Ticino public-liability law.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 81 LTF, a private prosecutor must explain the civil claims affected. Here any damage claim would be governed by cantonal public law, which excludes direct claims against the agent; therefore standing on the merits was lacking.
