Key legal question
Whether the federal nullity appeal could raise arbitrariness, denial of justice, presumption of innocence, and equality complaints
Extracted holding
These constitutional complaints were inadmissible in a nullity appeal and could only be raised by constitutional complaint; the appeal could be examined only for violations of federal criminal law.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 269(1) BStP limits the nullity appeal to federal law. The appellant’s criticisms were directed at constitutional rights and at evidence assessment, which fall outside that remedy.
