Key legal question
Whether the complainant had standing under Art. 88 OJ to file a public-law appeal against the dismissal order.
Extracted holding
He lacked standing because, as a complainant seeking prosecution, he relied only on an indirect factual interest; no special victim-law exception applied.
Extracted reasoning
In matters concerning a dismissal, a private complainant is generally not protected in a legally cognizable way by the mere wish to have criminal proceedings pursued. The right to punish belongs to the public authorities.
