Italy's Court of Cassation has concluded that data collected from encrypted communications, such as those of the Sky ECC platform, can be used as evidence in criminal proceedings, as long as they are collected lawfully and in accordance with national and international standards.

This decision emphasizes that it is important to respect procedural principles and the fundamental rights of individuals, while maintaining the balance between the protection of privacy and the need to ensure public safety.

The court has also emphasized the importance of international cooperation and has legitimized the exchange of data between foreign authorities for investigations related to organized crime.

The assessment of the proportionality of the interference with the privacy of individuals is made when there are strong indications of serious criminal activities. This decision also underlines the important role that encrypted technologies play in the fight against modern crime and the need for advanced tools to tackle these activities.

The decision of the Italian Court of Cassation comes at a time when in Albania the debate on the use of advanced technologies for crime investigation is at the center of attention, bringing to light the need for a careful balance between security and respect for human rights.
