Questão jurídica principal
Whether the order opening a criminal investigation against the appellant was immediately appealable under Art. 93 BGG.
Decisão extraída
The order was an interlocutory decision; no irreparable legal harm existed, and the cost-saving exception of Art. 93(1)(b) BGG did not apply in criminal proceedings.
Fundamentação extraída
The Court held that conducting a criminal investigation does not create irreparable legal harm, and that lit. b is to be applied very restrictively in criminal matters because criminal procedure is governed by legality and the state bears the costs of an unjustified prosecution.
