Key legal question
Whether the Grand Council's authorization to prosecute and lift immunity could be challenged immediately before the Federal Supreme Court.
Extracted holding
The decision was an incidental decision in an ongoing criminal matter and was not immediately appealable absent irreparable harm or the strict conditions for an exception under Art. 93 LTF.
Extracted reasoning
The authorization only removed an obstacle to an existing criminal prosecution; it had effect solely within that proceeding. The appellant failed to show irreparable harm, and no exceptionally long or costly evidence procedure was demonstrated.
