BREAKING UPDATE: The New York court has orally ruled in session, fully excluding SkyECC evidence in the Goran Gogic case. Still reviewing the transcript, so a detailed breakdown will follow. Our team, led by Lead Counsel Joseph Corozzo, is thrilled with this key victory. Next, we’ll challenge the remaining evidence, aiming for a full acquittal.

The prosecution provided no witness testimony or detailed evidence on these steps, relying instead on vague references to an “iterative decryption process” and French statements. The Court noted issues in the Excel spreadsheets, such as duplicates, one-sided conversations, and potential artifacts, raising questions of accuracy and possible manipulation.

With great pleasure, I am happy to announce that after intensive and in-depth preparation, the Zurich Court of Appeal has prioritized the rule of law over blind prosecutorial zeal. The methods of international investigative authorities do not hold up under Swiss law, which is why the results of months-long surveillance of SkyECC communication data—at least in my client's case—were declared absolutely inadmissible by decision of August 15, 2025. My great thanks go to all who supported me in this process, especially Christian Lödden, Justus Reisinger, and Guillaume MARTINE from the Joint Defense Team.

Yes, EU Member States should align with the Zurich ruling's spirit, as mass surveillance violates EU law (e.g., CJEU precedents like Quadrature du Net prohibiting indiscriminate data retention). It breaches Articles 7-8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Adopting this stance would enforce privacy protections uniformly, potentially leading to case dismissals across the EU.

Der Antrag in Yalçınkaya v. Türkei wurde im März 2020 eingereicht, Urteil am 26. Sept. 2023 – Dauer ca. 3,5 Jahre. In Demirhan u.a. v. Türkei: Eingereicht am 24. Juli 2020, Urteil am 22. Juli 2025 – Dauer 5 Jahre. Durchschnittlich dauert es beim EGMR vom Antrag bis Urteil 4–6 Jahre, je nach Fallkomplexität. Genauere Schätzungen variieren.
