The retention of the fingerprints of a person who had not been convicted breached his right to respect for his private life
In today’s Chamber judgment in the case of M.K. v. France (application no. 19522/09), which is not final1, the European Court of Human Rights held, unanimously, that there had been:
a violation of Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) of the European Convention on Human Rights
The case concerned a French national who complained of the fact that his fingerprints had been retained on a database by the French authorities. He had been the subject of two investigations concerning book theft, which ended in one case with his acquittal and in the other with a decision not to prosecute.
The Court considered, in view of the circumstances of the case, that the retention of the data in question amounted to disproportionate interference with the applicant’s right to respect for his private life.
