FOURTH SECTION

Application no. 37324/16 Adriana - Laura MIRON against Romania lodged on 15 June 2016

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the criminal proceedings opened by the domestic authorities against the applicant. The proceedings ended with the final judgment of the Bucharest Court of Appeal of 17 December 2015 convicting the applicant of abuse of office and of forging documents and sentencing her to two years imprisonment. The applicant alleged under Article 6 of the Convention that the proceedings were unfair because the benches of judges which convicted her both at first and last instance level failed to hear evidence directly from her co-defendants and from the witnesses in the case.

QUESTION TO THE PARTIES

Did the applicant have a fair hearing in the determination of the criminal charges against her, in accordance with Article 6 of the Convention in so far as the benches of judges which convicted her both at first and last instance level failed to hear evidence directly from her co-defendants and from the witnesses in the case?
