Verlenging en wijziging van Titel X van het Vierde Boek van het Wetboek van Strafvordering (Verlengingswet Innovatiewet Strafvordering)

This Dutch bill extends and amends Title X of Book Four of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Wetboek van Strafvordering), the part that governs certain special investigative powers. It is named the Extension Act for the Innovation Act on Criminal Procedure, which introduced new powers for investigating crime in digital and technologically complex settings. Because those powers were adopted on a temporary basis, this bill would keep them in force for longer and adjust their scope. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full legislative text. The bill mainly affects police, the public prosecution service, and judges who authorise investigative measures, as well as people suspected of crimes and anyone whose digital data could be reached by such methods. Its detailed effects on privacy safeguards and oversight would need to be checked against the full text.
