Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court granted the retrial request and suspended the criminal proceedings pending a preliminary ruling on a specific legal interpretation. Defendants argued that their request to re-examine minor victims, whom they lacked counsel during the initial hearing, violated procedural rights under Article 433 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court recognized the need for uniform interpretation of this norm and deemed the proceedings suspended due to the long-term uncertainty caused by the pending preliminary ruling.
