Questão jurídica principal
Whether the complainant had standing to file a public law appeal against the refusal to proceed in the criminal complaint.
Decisão extraída
He lacked standing because he invoked only a factual or indirect interest in prosecution, not a legally protected interest.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 88 OJ, a private complainant generally cannot challenge a refusal to prosecute unless a legally protected interest exists; that exception was not applicable here.
