Key legal question
Whether the particularly complex unsealing dispute had to be decided first by the cantonal appellate court or directly by the Federal Supreme Court
Extracted holding
The Federal Supreme Court chose, exceptionally and for reasons of expedition, to decide the unsealing dispute itself rather than remand it.
Extracted reasoning
Although the challenged non-entry decision was wrong, the Court held that the case should be handled immediately by it to satisfy the constitutional and statutory duty of expeditious criminal proceedings.
