Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court had jurisdiction to decide on authorization for criminal prosecution against a member of the cantonal government.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The interpretation of cantonal law granting the court competence to decide the authorization request was not arbitrary and complied with the constitutional judge guarantee.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 4(3) StPO/AI could reasonably be applied to members of the cantonal executive as well as to officials; the wording was not clear enough to exclude them, and the court relied on the purpose of the rule.
