On 11 November 2021 the CJEU rendered a judgment in the case C-852/19 which is the second time the court provides the interpretation of the Directive 2014/41/EU on the European Investigation Order (EIO) in the criminal proceedings against Ivan Gavanozov.
The CJEU ruled that national legislation, which does not provide for any legal remedy against the issuing of an EIO for the search and seizure, as well as for the hearing of a witness via videoconference, is not compatible with the Article 14 and Article 6 of the Directive 2014/41/EU on the EIO.
