In Heglas v. the Czech Republic, the ECtHR held on March 1st that the Czech Republic had violated the applicant’s right to respect for private life. The Czech authorities used evidence based on the applicant’s telephone calls; the Court established that this evidence had been obtained in a manner not compatible with the Czech legislation allowing telephone interceptions. Moreover, the Court did not approve the use of dictaphone recording because it was not based on “law†as defined by the ECtHR. For more information see here.
