The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting as a Chamber composed of:
Boštjan M. Zupančič, President, Corneliu Bîrsan, Elisabet Fura-Sandström, Alvina Gyulumyan, Egbert Myjer, David Thór Björgvinsson, Isabelle Berro-Lefèvre, judges, and Santiago Quesada, Section Registrar ,
The case originated in an application (no. 30810/03) against the Kingdom of the Netherlands lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) on 23 September 2003 by a Netherlands national, Mr Gerardus Antonius Marinus Geerings (“the applicant”).
In a judgment delivered on 1 March 2007 (“the principal judgment”), the Court held that there had been a violation of Article 6 § 2 of the Convention in that a confiscation order given on 30 March 2001 amounted to a determination of the applicant's guilt without the applicant having been “found guilty according to law” in so far as it related to assets which were not known to have been in the applicant's possession and to charges of which the applicant had actually been acquitted.
