Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal to order a further confrontation of witnesses violated Article 6 § 3(d) ECHR.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No further hearing was required because the accused had already confronted the witnesses during the investigation and later retractions did not, by themselves, make a new confrontation necessary.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that a single adequate opportunity to question prosecution witnesses generally suffices; later retractions and allegations of police pressure do not automatically require a second confrontation, especially where some witnesses maintained their accusations and one expressly denied any pressure.
