Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellants, as simple injured parties, could challenge the merits of the dismissal for fraud and argue arbitrariness in fact-finding.
Decisão extraída
No; as simple injured parties they had no standing to contest the substance of the criminal assessment and could invoke only procedural rights directly protecting them.
Fundamentação extraída
The private criminal action belongs to the State; a simple injured party has only an indirect factual interest and may complain only of procedural violations amounting to a formal denial of justice.
