SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the freezing of bank accounts of the applicant company, which was a law firm, by the domestic authorities within the framework of the criminal proceedings concerning the alleged unlawful activities of a number of non-governmental organisations.

QUESTION tO THE PARTIES

Has there been an interference with the applicant company ’ s peaceful enjoyment of possessions, within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1, on account of the freezing of its bank accounts? If so, was that interference lawful and necessary to control the use of property in accordance with the general interest? In particular, did that interference impose an excessive individual burden on the applicant company (see Immobiliare Saffi v. Italy [GC], no. 22774/93, § 59, ECHR 1999-V)?
