English translation of the principle

Invalidity of the search does not preclude reliance on other evidentiary elements independent of it and leading to - 231 - Criminal Procedures and Trials the same result it yielded, including a subsequent confession. This means that it is unavailing to maintain that the police inquiries on which the authorization was issued lacked seriousness 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 - ٢٣١ - إجراءات ومحاكمات جزائية ذات النتيجة التي أسفر عنها ومنها الاعتراف اللاحق. مؤدى ذلك عدم جدوى التمسك بعدم جدية التحريات التي صدر الإذن بناء عليها وأنه صدر بعد إجراء التحقيق.
