DECISION
Application no. 56139/19
EXSTRO S.R.L.
against Italy
The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 12 March 2026 as a Committee composed of:
Artūrs Kučs, President,
Raffaele Sabato,
Anna Adamska-Gallant, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application against the Italian Republic lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) on 12 October 2019,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDUREThe applicant company, Exstro S.r.l., was registered in 2009. It was represented by Mr A. Saccucci, a lawyer practising in Rome.
The applicant company’s complaints under Articles 7 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 concerning the confiscation of its assets were communicated to the Italian Government (“the Government”).
On 15 January 2026 the applicant informed the Registry that it wanted to withdraw the application to the Court since the confiscated amount had been returned to it.
THE LAWIn the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant company may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention). Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine, the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the application.
Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 2 April 2026.
