Whether the prosecutor could suspend the investigation under Art. 314(1)(b) CPP pending another criminal case.
Yes. Because the outcome of the other proceeding could materially affect the pending case and simplify evidence-taking, the suspension was justified.
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.
