22 9) in the case of investigation and executive assistance data, crime report data is deleted one year after the expiry of the statute of limitations for the suspected offence, and other report data five years after the recording of the report; if there are several offences in the same report of an offence, the data is deleted one year after the expiry of the statute of limitations for the most recent suspected offence; if it was only possible to determine the time at which the offence was committed as a time interval, the deadline for deletion of the data is calculated from the later of the interval times. (2) A DNA profile recorded in a police personal data file under Chapter 6, section 5 of the Coercive Measures Act is deleted from the file one year after the file keeper was informed of the prosecutor’s decision stating that no offence has been committed or that there is no proof of an offence, or of waiving the charges brought against the data subject by a final court decision or of exempting the person from penal liability. If the profile is not deleted at an earlier stage, it shall be deleted no later than ten years after the data subject’s death. Stored samples are destroyed at the same time as their corresponding DNA profiles are deleted. (3) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections 1 and 2, entries concerning persons suspected of an offence who are under 15 years of age are deleted from the data system one year after the data subject reaches 18 years of age, unless a shorter time has been laid down for deletion of the data. However, the data is not deleted on these grounds if: 1) the report concerns other suspects whose data is not yet deleted; 2) one of the entries concerns a criminal act punishable by imprisonment only; or 3) in the case of a data subject registered as a suspect of an offence when under 15 years of age, new entries are made for the person as a suspect before he or she reaches 18 years of age.
