Question juridique clé
Whether the prosecutor could suspend the investigation under Art. 314(1)(b) CPP pending another criminal case.
Solution extraite
Yes. Because the outcome of the other proceeding could materially affect the pending case and simplify evidence-taking, the suspension was justified.
Motifs extraits
The two criminal proceedings concerned partly the same facts. The veracity of the allegations in F.________’s complaint was directly relevant to E.________’s complaint, so waiting for the other case was coherent and within the prosecutor’s discretion.
