Key legal question
Whether the use of seized diaries and evidence violated the presumption of innocence and privilege against self-incrimination.
Extracted holding
No. The materials were seized by criminal-procedural coercive measures, not obtained through compelled self-incrimination.
Extracted reasoning
The complaint did not show any legal duty to cooperate that forced the taxpayers to incriminate themselves. Seizure of documents and use of existing records did not breach Art. 6(2) ECHR or Art. 32(1) BV.
