Request to designate competent criminal court under § 14 StPO denied

The Federal Court of Criminal Justice (BGH) rejected the application to designate the competent court under Section 14 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, upholding the jurisdictional determination for a criminal matter referred by the Higher Regional Court of Oldenburg. The dispute concerned a request for centralized judicial handling of a criminal case, with the court relying on the General Public Prosecutor's position and a 2019 precedent involving nearly identical facts to deny the designation. The decision was based strictly on procedural jurisdiction rules under Section 14 StPO, confirming that no exceptional circumstances warranted the requested reassignment of the competent court.
