Germany - 11755/85 Judgment 19.3.1991 Article 5 Article 5-1 Lawful arrest or detention Procedure prescribed by law Arrest and detention of person who claimed to have been victim of collusion between German authorities and a German police informer for purpose of bringing him back to the Federal Republic of Germany against his will: no violation [This summary is extracted from the Court’s official reports (Series A or Reports of Judgments and Decisions). Its formatting and structure may therefore differ from the Case-Law Information Note summaries.] Under Convention the establishment and verification of facts primarily a matter for Commission – only in exceptional circumstances will Court use its powers in this area – applicant's request for five witnesses to be called, four of whom had not been heard by the Commission, refused. Co-operation extending to unlawful activities abroad: not established – unnecessary to examine, as Commission did, whether, if it had been otherwise, applicant's arrest would have violated Convention. Conclusion : no violation (unanimously).   © Council of Europe/European Court of Human Rights This summary by the Registry does not bind the Court. Click here for the Case-Law Information Notes
