Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

The case concerned a request by the public prosecutor to designate the competent jurisdiction for a matter involving alleged insults and defamation committed by an elected official, who was also a judicial police officer, within the district where he held territorial competence. The Court of Cassation rejected the request, reasoning that because the alleged offenses occurred during a cantonal election campaign with the intent to favor or combat a candidacy, they fell under the special provisions of the Electoral Code, which explicitly exclude the application of the general provisions concerning the designation of jurisdiction in the Code of Criminal Procedure for all offenses committed in view of elections, regardless of the nature of those offenses.
