Key legal question
Whether the complainant, as an injured person, had standing to challenge the cantonal decision discontinuing the criminal investigation.
Extracted holding
As an injured person, the complainant generally lacked standing to attack the dismissal of the criminal proceedings; he had only an indirect factual interest, not a legal one.
Extracted reasoning
Under settled case law, the prosecution belongs to the state. An injured person may invoke constitutional complaint only for procedural rights if he had party status below; he cannot seek review of the merits of the discontinuance.
