94In the present cases, it has to be said that the interpretation of the principle of the authority of res judicata mentioned in paragraph 92 of the present judgment prevents from being called into question not only a judicial decision in criminal proceedings which has acquired the authority of res judicata, even if that decision entails a breach of EU law, but also, in the course of civil judicial proceedings in relation to the same facts, any finding on a common fundamental issue contained in a judicial decision in criminal proceedings which has acquired the authority of res judicata (see, by analogy, judgment of 3 September 2009, Fallimento Olimpiclub, C‑2/08, EU:C:2009:506, paragraph 29).
