LIMITI TEMPORALI AI DATABASE DEL DNA. SENTENZA DELLA CORTE EUROPEA CASE 30562/04 - 30566/04

In data 4/12/2008 la European Court of Human Rights di Strasburgo ha emesso un'importante decisione, stabilendo che costituisce violazione dei diritti della persona (Article 8 of the Convention) l'eccessiva conservazione di campioni biologici e dei profili di soggetti riconosciuti innocenti nel database nazionale (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) del DNA

The case concerns the storing, by the authorities, of fingerprints and DNA samples taken from the applicants in the context of unsuccessful criminal proceedings against them. S., who had been prosecuted for attempted robbery, was ultimately acquitted, and the proceedings against Mr M., who was accused of harassment, were dropped. Both requested that the fingerprints and DNA samples be destroyed, but this was refused.
