Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellants had standing to file a cassation complaint regarding the criminal ruling.
Decisão extraída
They could only complain as private complainants on the scope of the criminal complaint; they were not victims and could not challenge the civil issues.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 270 BStP, their status as non-victims excluded broader standing; civil claims were not decided on the merits because they were referred to the civil path.
