Question juridique clé
Whether evidence derived from Slovenian telephone surveillance was inadmissible in Switzerland
Solution extraite
The foreign surveillance did not render the Swiss evidence unusable; even if the surveillance were unlawful abroad, the border control and ensuing evidence would likely have occurred independently.
Motifs extraits
No Swiss authorization was required for the foreign surveillance. The court held that a derivative-evidence exclusion applies only when the later evidence would not likely have been obtained without the unlawful primary evidence; here the border officers would very likely have stopped the defendant anyway because of the ordinary control at the border and his suspicious behaviour.
