Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public-law appeal was admissible despite the complainants' lack of a legally protected interest in the non-lieu order.
Decisão extraída
The appellants had no standing under Art. 88 OJ because the case concerned only patrimonial offences and they relied on a factual, indirect interest in prosecution.
Fundamentação extraída
A complainant generally cannot challenge a non-lieu by public-law appeal; only a victim within the meaning of the Victim Assistance Act may have a protected interest. That exception did not apply here.
