Question juridique clé
Whether Art. 6(1) ECHR and Art. 30(1) Federal Constitution apply to the independence of investigating judges in a separate criminal investigation.
Solution extraite
These guarantees do not secure the independence and impartiality of investigating judges in the conduct of a criminal investigation; the complaint was therefore unfounded.
Motifs extraits
The recusal complaint targeted investigating judges acting in an investigation. Under settled case law, the cited guarantees concern tribunals, not the investigative function. The alleged false testimony arose in another criminal trial, while the new investigation was formally independent.
