What does Article 359a Sv say about unlawful evidence?

Artikel 359a Sv

De rechtbank kan, indien blijkt dat bij het voorbereidend onderzoek vormen zijn verzuimd die niet meer kunnen worden hersteld en de rechtsgevolgen hiervan niet uit de wet blijken, bepalen dat:

a. de hoogte van de straf in verhouding tot de ernst van het verzuim wordt verlaagd;

b. de resultaten van het onderzoek die door het verzuim zijn verkregen, niet mogen bijdragen aan het bewijs;

c. het openbaar ministerie niet ontvankelijk wordt verklaard.
