Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the accusation principle was violated under the old Bern criminal procedure rules
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The former Bern procedure allowed direct referral based on the criminal complaint, and the first interrogation satisfied both the accusatory delimitation and information requirements.
Extrahierte Begründung
The applicable cantonal law permitted trial without a formal indictment. The defendant was informed through the first interrogation and did not show that he lacked knowledge of the accusations.
