Question juridique clé
Whether the complainant had standing to challenge the refusal to open criminal proceedings
Solution extraite
He lacked a legally protected interest because the alleged offenses were time-barred, so he was not entitled to complain.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the justice system is not obliged to investigate time-barred offenses; therefore the appellant could not show the interest required by Art. 81(1)(b) BGG.
