Onder 4.12 Parket bij de Hoge Raad 19 december 2014

Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 19 december 2014, ECLI:NL:PHR:2014:2728.

The Court considers it significant that, at the time of his telephone conversation with GB, the applicant was unaware that the call was being intercepted by the police. The allegedly incriminating statements made by him in the course of this conversation, were, therefore, made freely, and not as a result of any coercion or compulsion applied to the applicant by the State authorities. For this reason, the record of the conversation is akin to a pre existing document or a bodily sample, to which the right not to incriminate oneself does not extend. While the applicant claims that he was tricked by GB into making the statements in question, this allegation is not sufficient in itself to necessitate the exclusion of the record, since it would have been open to the applicant to put this argument to the jury, who were required to assess the reliability and probative value of the recorded conversation together with all the other evidence presented in the case.
