English translation of the principle

Invalidity of a search does not preclude reliance on other evidentiary elements independent of it and leading to the same result it yielded, including a subsequent confession. Import thereof. The futility of invoking the lack of seriousness of the inquiries on which the warrant was based and that it was issued after the investigation was conducted.
Arabic original
بطلان التفتيش لا يحول دون الأخذ بعناصر الإثبات الأخرى المستقلة عنه والمؤدية إلى ذات النتيجة التي أسفر عنها ومنها الاعتراف اللاحق. مؤدى ذلك. عدم جدوى التمسك بعدم جدية التحريات التي صدر الإذن بناءً عليها وأنه صدر بعد إجراء التحقيق.
