Key legal question
Whether the complainant had standing to challenge the dismissal of the theft investigation
Extracted holding
He lacked standing under the former Art. 81 BGG because he was neither a private prosecutor nor an injured victim.
Extracted reasoning
The public prosecutor participated in the cantonal proceedings, excluding private-prosecutor status. The alleged theft did not directly impair the complainant's physical, psychological, or sexual integrity, so he was not a victim under the Victim Assistance Act. As a merely injured person, he was not entitled to file the complaint under the old law.
