Questão jurídica principal
Whether the constitutional complaint against the refusal to open criminal proceedings is admissible despite lack of standing on the merits
Decisão extraída
The complaint is inadmissible because the applicants, as injured persons, lacked a legally protected interest in the prosecution of the alleged offender and did not claim any violation of procedural rights.
Fundamentação extraída
Under settled case law, a victim or injured person may not use constitutional complaint to contest the merits of a prosecution decision; only specific procedural rights violations amounting to formal denial of justice can be reviewed. No such procedural violation was alleged here.
