The public prosecutor's office in Klagenfurt was looking for tax money and came across abuse material during investigations into a suspected financial scandal involving Freedom Party politicians. The case raises questions about how to proceed with such "chance finds". Should no charges be brought for child pornography?

What should the judiciary be allowed to do in future? What does modern criminal prosecution and care look like in the 21st century? It is not only the current case of Leon in Tyrol that shows that there is an urgent need for action on fundamental rights. The Constitutional Court has already decreed the need for reform - and the seizure of data carriers such as cell phones, tablets and laptops continues to cause debate.
