Key legal question
Whether the applicants had standing to challenge the dismissal of the criminal proceedings by staatsrechtliche Beschwerde
Extracted holding
They lacked standing on the merits as injured parties, but could still invoke alleged procedural violations and formal denial of justice.
Extracted reasoning
A private injured party has only a factual interest in prosecution; only procedural rights violations that amount to a formal denial of justice are reviewable. Allegations directed at the merits or evidentiary assessment are inadmissible.
