Key legal question
Whether the complaint was admissible under the Federal Supreme Court Act
Extracted holding
The Court treated the matter as a public-law appeal rather than a criminal appeal and found no exclusion ground; standing was left open because the appeal was in any event unfounded.
Extracted reasoning
The challenged decision concerned authorization to prosecute. The persons denounced were not members of the highest cantonal executive or judicial authorities, so the statutory exclusion did not apply.
