Questão jurídica principal
Whether the house search and extraction of digital data were inadmissible because they occurred before appointment of necessary defence and without participation rights.
Decisão extraída
A house search is not an evidentiary act under Art. 147(1) StPO and not an evidentiary act under Art. 131(3) StPO; the seized data were therefore admissible.
Fundamentação extraída
The search is a coercive measure aimed at securing evidence, not a proof-taking act with party participation rights. As owner of the premises and devices, the defendant had to be heard under the search provisions and was informed about sealing; he consented to the search and waived sealing.
