House searches as well as seizures and confiscations are coercive measures taken by the authorities in criminal proceedings to clarify the suspicion of a criminal offense in order to establish the material truth. Major criminal proceedings and in particular white-collar criminal proceedings are hardly conceivable without utilising evidence from the world of big data. The article examines the fundamental rights framework regarding house searches as well as seizures and confiscations against the background of Art 6 ECHR and Art 8 ECHR.
