Questão jurídica principal
Whether the complainants had standing to challenge the cantonal decision by public law appeal or cassation
Decisão extraída
They lacked standing on the merits because they were neither victims under the Victim Assistance Act nor entitled to attack the criminal non-prosecution as private complainants.
Fundamentação extraída
A criminal prosecution claim belongs to the state; private complainants may only challenge procedural violations amounting to a denial of justice, and defamation does not normally constitute direct psychical injury under the Victim Assistance Act.
