• Assessing the Risk of Isolation of Suspects and Accused:
    The Role of the Media

9 MILLION
are prosecuted every year in the EU.
Many of them are never found guilty.

Our goal is to enhance the presumption of innocence in criminal proceedings and minimise, as much
as possible, the negative impact of investigations on the lives of suspects and accused.

The Presumption of Innocence

Everyone who has been charged shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law

Impact of Investigation

Proceedings should not affect the lives of suspects and accused beyond what is necessary for the proper investigation of the crime

Damage Control

Police and justice authorities should be able to assess and minimise the harmful impact of investigations on the lives of suspects and accused
