Why EncroChat and Sky ECC cases undermine the rule of law
For years, I’ve been defending clients in EncroChat and Sky ECC cases. During this time, I have been witnessing their fundamental right to a fair trial being gradually eroded. My clients are not considered “popular”. They belong to organized crime organizations, which are equated with terrorism. But fair trials are not about that. As criminal defence lawyers, we defend humans and their rights, and the right to a fair trial is among the most fundamental. It must be the highest standard for us to prove it, especially, in the harder cases.
