Die Beschlagnahmeverbote des § 97 Abs.1 StPO im Lichte der Zeugnisverweigerungsrechte

At present, there is a lively discussion among scholars and those responsible for judicial decisions surrounding the content and the scope of the prohibition of impounding. Up to now, they have not been able to reach an agreement, even on fundamental questions. Monika Görtz-Leible deals with the content and limits of Section 97 Sub-Section 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on the basis of the witness's right to decline to answer questions and works out a system for interpreting the prohibition of impounding. In doing so, she shows the connections between constitutional law, the relationship between Sections 94, 95 and 97 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the rights of the witnesses to decline to answer questions.
