Art. 264 CPP · Limitazioni

Non possono essere sequestrati, indipendentemente dal luogo in cui si trovano e indipendentemente dal momento in cui sono stati allestiti: a. documenti inerenti ai contatti dell’imputato con il difensore; b. carte e registrazioni personali e corrispondenza dell’imputato, se l’interesse alla protezione della sua personalità prevale su quello del perseguimento penale; c. oggetti e documenti inerenti ai contatti tra l’imputato e persone aventi facoltà di non deporre conformemente agli articoli 170–173, sempre che tali persone non siano a loro volta imputate nello stesso contesto fattuale; d. oggetti e documenti inerenti ai contatti tra un’altra persona e il proprio avvocato autorizzato a esercitare la rappresentanza in giudizio in Svizzera secondo la legge del 23 giugno 2000 sugli avvocati, sempre che l’avvocato non sia a sua volta imputato nello stesso contesto fattuale.

Le limitazioni di cui al capoverso 1 non sono applicabili a oggetti e valori patrimoniali che devono essere sequestrati in vista della loro restituzione al danneggiato o in vista della loro confisca.

Se il titolare fa valere che il sequestro di oggetti o valori patrimoniali è inammissibile, le autorità penali procedono conformemente alle norme sull’apposizione di sigilli.
