Questão jurídica principal
Whether a criminal appeal lies against the President of the Complaints Chamber's decision refusing authorization of surveillance under the postal and telecommunications surveillance act.
Decisão extraída
No direct appeal lies to the Federal Supreme Court against a decision of the President of the Complaints Chamber authorizing or refusing authorization of surveillance under Art. 7(1)(a) LSCPT.
Fundamentação extraída
The special statutes do not provide a remedy, and Arts. 79 and 80 LTF allow appeals only against decisions of the complaints chamber or the Federal Criminal Court itself, not against a decision taken by its president acting alone. Prior jurisprudence under the former regime is applied by analogy.
