Victory at second glance
Our view on today’s decision of the General Court of the CJEU:
- first procedural hurdle has been overcome;

Interesting decision from Spain with reference to @ECHR_CEDH Yalçinkaya: unavailability of (access to) raw data/ original digital evidence for the defence, means insufficient evidence to rebute the presumption of innocence of accused
