Key legal question
Whether the appellant had standing to bring the criminal complaint appeal
Extracted holding
He lacked standing because he was neither a private prosecutor nor a victim, and no direct impact on his civil claims was shown.
Extracted reasoning
The Statthalteramt acted as a prosecuting organ and participated in the cantonal proceedings, so the appellant was not a private prosecutor under Art. 81(1)(b)(4) BGG. He also failed to show a direct impairment of his physical or psychological integrity or an effect on civil claims, so he was not a victim under Art. 81(1)(b)(5) BGG and Art. 1(1) OHG.
