6B_333/2025: Ruling regarding criminal proceedings against the complainants for sexual offenses, violence against persons, and drug offenses
Summary of Facts
The three complainants (A.________, B.________, and C.C.________) were convicted of various criminal offenses, including serious sexual offenses and drug trafficking. The sentences include long-term imprisonment and partial expulsion from the country. The lower court (Tribunal cantonal du Valais, Cour pénale I) partially reformed the first-instance decision. The convicted individuals appealed the rulings to the Federal Court.
Summary of Considerations
**E.1:** The proceedings for all three complainants were consolidated for a unified decision in accordance with Art. 71 BGG and Art. 24 BG. **E.2:** The complainants objected to the rejection of the renewed hearing of the victim witness by the lower court. The Federal Court confirmed the lower court's position that sufficient evidence had been gathered based on earlier police and prosecutor interviews and a filmed reconstruction, and that there was no violation of the right to be heard. **E.3:** The complainants criticized the evaluation of evidence by the lower court and claimed that the principle *in dubio pro reo* had been violated. The Federal Court found that the lower court based its assessment on a comprehensive evaluation of the evidence and did not make arbitrary decisions. **E.4:** The first complainant (A.________) complained of a violation of the prohibition of *reformatio in pejus*. The Federal Court stated that the prosecutor's appeal was lawful and that the aggravation of the sentence did not constitute a violation of the prohibition. **E.6 and E.7:** The two expulsions (against B.________ and C.C.________) were thoroughly examined. The Federal Court emphasized the severity of the crimes, the threshold for imprisonment, and the existing security risks. The interests of the complainants in remaining in Switzerland were weighed against public interests. The legality and proportionality of the expulsions were confirmed. Likewise, the duration of the expulsions was deemed appropriate. **E.6.4:** The appeal by B.________ regarding the non-entry into the Schengen Information System (SIS) was dismissed. **E.8:** The submissions regarding suspensive effect and further provisional measures were rendered moot as the main issue was decided.
Summary of Disposition
The appeals were dismissed and the proceedings were consolidated. Furthermore, procedural costs of 3,000 CHF were imposed on each complainant.

Summary of Facts

7B_1387/2024: Violation of traffic rules according to Art. 90 para. 2 SVG
Summary of Facts
The complainant, a Swiss citizen, was initially convicted by the district court of Broye and Nord vaud and later by the cantonal appeals chamber of Vaud for serious traffic offenses (Art. 90 para. 2 SVG). On January 29, 2023, he pursued a police vehicle on the A5 highway over a considerable distance at a distance of approximately 15 meters and at high speed. The evidence was partially obtained in violation of legal information obligations, which was disputed in the proceedings.
Summary of Considerations
- **E.1:** The procedural prerequisites for the appeal are met. The appeal was submitted in due form and within the time limit, and the complainant is entitled to appeal as he is directly affected. - **E.2 to E.2.4:** The evidence collection by the police, particularly the informal questioning of the complainant and the reconstruction of the situation, was partially conducted in violation of Art. 158 StPO. Such evidence is not admissible according to Art. 158 para. 2 StPO. However, the subsequently properly obtained evidence remains admissible. The cantonal appeals chamber should have recognized and assessed the evidentiary error. - **E.3:** The appeals chamber did not act arbitrarily in its determination of the facts. The statements of police officers regarding the distance measurement are based on plausible and standardized visual indicators (marking lines on the highway). - **E.5:** The speed of 110 km/h and the distance of 15 meters are sufficient according to case law (including minimum distance according to BGer practice) to fulfill the criteria for serious traffic rule violation. - **E.6:** The opposing party (the police) acted correctly, and the finding of the serious rule violation remains upheld.
Summary of Disposition
The complaint is dismissed, and the court costs of 3,000 CHF are to be imposed on the complainant. No party compensation is awarded.
