Key legal question
Whether the Geneva prosecutor had to be recused for apparent bias based on his conduct of the hearings and contacts with complainant counsel.
Extracted holding
No circumstances established an objective appearance of partiality; the challenged acts were at most procedural choices or minor irregularities, not grave or repeated violations justifying recusal.
Extracted reasoning
Recusal cannot be used to challenge the way an investigation is conducted. The file showed that the defense was allowed extensive questioning, the closed-door exchange concerned only an organizational point and was recorded, and the witness summons was compatible with the procedural rules.
