Joint Defense Team

A team of criminal defense lawyers in Europe for the best cross-border defending - as operations of law enforcement are increasingly international too

[Joint Defense Team @JointDefenseT]

The “core issue” of our Team is described by prof. dr. Bachmaier as duty of any lawyer: despite mutual trust between public authorities, the defence has still the right to check how evidence has been gathered abroad & whether in compliance with procedural rules #skyecc #encrochat

The shadow side of Europols data investigations

Recent discoveries of investigative journalist prove what was already expected: they protect the law while breaking it

Our view: #Europol should be subject to judicial control as all domestic police forces

@PKatarelos @carli2472_don Der Erfolg ist, dass die Beschwerden zugelassen wurden. In der nächsten Instanz vor dem EuGH kann jetzt der Fokus auf die relevanten Fragen gelegt werden: War die Datenerhebung zulässig oder hat sie gegen Europäisches Recht verstoßen?

Victory at second glance

Our view on today’s decision of the General Court of the CJEU:

- first procedural hurdle has been overcome;
- now the focus can be on the real question: is an interception like #SkyECC violating EU law?!

[Joint Defense Team @JointDefenseT]

@NcaNemesis This procedure was first all about the admissibility.

Now we reached that with a decision in substance, the appeal can now focus on the core question: what about the legality of (the processing of) the data from interception of Sky ECC communications?
