VStrR; Dritter Titel: Verwaltungsstrafverfahren; Zweiter Abschnitt: Untersuchung und Strafverfügung der Verwaltung; F. Zwangsmassnahmen; IV. Durchsuchung von Papieren
Art. 50 VStrR
Papiere sind mit grösster Schonung der Privatgeheimnisse zu durchsuchen; insbesondere sollen Papiere nur dann durchsucht werden, wenn anzunehmen ist, dass sich Schriften darunter befinden, die für die Untersuchung von Bedeutung sind.
Bei der Durchsuchung sind das Amtsgeheimnis sowie Geheimnisse, die Geistlichen, Rechtsanwälten, Notaren, Ärzten, Apothekern, Hebammen und ihren beruflichen Gehilfen in ihrem Amte oder Beruf anvertraut wurden, zu wahren.
Dem Inhaber der Papiere ist wenn immer möglich Gelegenheit zu geben, sich vor der Durchsuchung über ihren Inhalt auszusprechen. Erhebt er gegen die Durchsuchung Einsprache, so werden die Papiere versiegelt und verwahrt, und es entscheidet die Beschwerdekammer des Bundesstrafgerichts über die Zulässigkeit der Durchsuchung (Art. 25 Abs. 1).
