Onder 2.26 Parket bij de Hoge Raad 12 juni 2020

Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 12 juni 2020, ECLI:NL:PHR:2020:593.

“Notwithstanding the consideration that a certain gravity attaches to criminal proceedings, which are concerned with the allocation of criminal responsibility and the imposition of a punitive and deterrent sanction, it is self-evident that there are criminal cases which do not carry any significant stigma. There are clearly “criminal charges” of different weight. What is more, the autonomous interpretation adopted by the Convention institutions of the notion of a “criminal charge” by applying the Engel criteria have underpinned a gradual broadening of the criminal head to cases not strictly belonging to the traditional categories of the criminal law, for example administrative penalties (…), prison disciplinary proceedings (…), customs law (…), competition law and penalties imposed by a court with jurisdiction in financial matters (…). Tax surcharges differ from the hard core of criminal law; consequently the criminal-head guarantees will not necessarily apply with their full stringency.” [curs. in origineel, A-G]
