Civiele schadevergoeding na vrijspraak

Wanneer een verdachte wordt vrijgesproken, regelt het Wetboek van Strafvordering beperkte mogelijkheden om in die situatie geleden schade vergoed te krijgen (voor ondergane voorlopige hechtenis art. 89 Sv en voor advocaatkosten art. 591a).

Naast deze specifieke omschreven schade kan een gewezen verdachte ook andere schade hebben geleden door het handelen van politie en justitie, bijvoorbeeld inkomstenderving. Verhaal daarvan kan via een civiele procedure ex art. 6:162 BW plaatsvinden. Hiertoe heeft de Hoge Raad in het Begaclaim-arrest, aan de hand van vaste jurisprudentie,  twee maatstaven gegeven op grond waarvan recht op schadevergoeding aan een gewezen verdachte in verband met strafrechtelijk optreden van politie en justitie op zijn plaats is.

Leestip: Geschiedenis van het straf- en schadevergoedingsrecht

Het strafrecht behoort vanouds tot de meest ingrijpende, maar ook aansprekende terreinen van het recht. Misdrijven laten diepe sporen na in een mensenleven. De reacties die daarop volgen eveneens. De geschiedenis van deze strafrechtelijke reacties is lang en grillig, zeker vanuit het perspectief van de moderne mens. Het heeft vele eeuwen geduurd voordat de overheid het strafrecht volledig in handen kreeg. Eerst heel geleidelijk hebben de slachtoffers van gepleegde delicten hun aanspraak op vergelding van het ondervonden onrecht moeten opgeven en genoegen moeten nemen met vergoeding van de hun toegebrachte schade. In dit boek wordt in een aantal hoofdstukken de lange weg beschreven die uiteindelijk heeft geleid tot de totstandkoming van het hedendaagse straf- en schadevergoedingsrecht.

International Law of Victims

After having ignored victims, only recently both domestic and international law have begun to pay attention to them. As a consequence, different international norms related to victims have progressively been introduced. These are norms generally characterized by a certain concept from the perspective of victims, as well as by the enumeration of a list of rights to which they are entitle to; rights upon which the international statute of victims is built. In reverse, these catalogues of rights are the states’ obligations. Most of these rights are already existent in the international law of human rights. Consequently, they are not new but consolidated rights. Others are strictly linked to victims,  concerning the following categories: victims of crime, victims of abuse of power, victims of gross violations of international human rights law, victims of serious violations of international humanitarian law, victims of enforced disappearance, victims of violations of international criminal law and victims of terrorism.

The right to a fair trial in light of the recent ECtHR and CJEU case-law

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has been called on to adjudicate on disputes as disparate in character as the legal systems of the parties to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR). Many cases involving the right to a fair trial guaranteed by Article 6 have proved highly controversial.

This chapter will review some of the recent decisions dealing with Article 6. It will deal with both the overarching right to a fair trial provided by the Convention as well as some of the constituent elements of that right, such as the right to be judged by an impartial tribunal and the right for proceedings to be concluded within a reasonable time. The Court also has considered how Article 6 applies in an expulsion case.

This chapter also considers, in this context, two recent decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) which similarly deal with the relationship between human rights protections and the European Arrest Warrant scheme. Article 6(3) contains a number of minimum requirements which must be satisfied in order for the trial process to be fair and the chapter will consider some of these.

Leestip: Cassatie in strafzaken; een rechtsbeschermend perspectief

Dit boek gaat over de manier waarop de Hoge Raad strafrechtelijke cassatieberoepen toetst, zowel in theorie als in de praktijk, waarbij het rechtsbeschermende aspect daarvan centraal staat. Allereerst wordt nagegaan waar de cassatie als rechtsmiddel vandaan komt, wat daarvan het doel is en welke taken de Hoge Raad in de loop der tijd zijn toegedacht – niet in de laatste plaats door hemzelf. Ook de inhoud van die taken komt aan bod. Teneinde na te gaan of het wettelijk systeem de Hoge Raad in voldoende mate de ruimte biedt om aan zijn taken inhoud te geven, wordt vervolgens aandacht besteed aan hoe de cassatie technisch in zijn werk gaat: beschreven worden het (grond)wettelijk kader van de cassatie, de wijze waarop de Hoge Raad dat kader opvat en de manier waarop hij daarmee omgaat. Met name het onderscheid tussen feit en recht – in dogmatische zin en als selectiemechanisme – komt daarbij uitgebreid aan bod. Besloten wordt met een steeksproefsgewijze beschrijving van de jurisprudentie over een aantal grote thema’s van de afgelopen twintig jaar. Daarin wordt bezien hoe de Hoge Raad, zich bewegend in het spanningsveld tussen instrumentaliteit en rechtsbescherming, in de praktijk invulling geeft aan zijn rechtsbeschermende taak.

Fighting fraud in the EU: a note on icebergs and evidence

Debate about a European Public Prosecutor’s Office still lacks a sound evidential basis. Reliable information about (1) the extent of fraud against the EU’s financial interests, and (2) the extent of cross-border elements in fraud against those interests, is not readily available. Given this evidence gap, attention should focus on improving data collection and capturing casework experience. Eurojust has an important role to play in this process.

De criminele burgerinfiltrant

In een recente brief aan de Kamer pleit minister Opstelten ervoor de inzet van de criminele burgerinfiltrant weer mogelijk te maken. De auteur, Ybo Buruma, is daar niet rouwig om. Van Traa heeft de grote risico’s van het werken met zo’n infiltrant genadeloos blootgelegd. Criminele burgerinfiltranten zijn criminelen en dus niet alleen op hun eigen voordeel uit, maar ook nog eens niet te vertrouwen. Toch was Van Traa minder streng dan wordt gedacht.

Eurojust’s present and future role at the frontline of European Union criminal justice cooperation

The article analyses the current developments at institutional level within the EU criminal justice system. After a brief overview on the rationale and challenges underpinning judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the article focuses on Eurojust and the perspectives for strengthening its role offered by Article 85 TFEU.
