SECOND SECTION
Application no. 52040/16
Maxim MARȚÎNIUC
against the Republic of Moldova
lodged on 26 August 2016
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the applicant’s remand in custody and under house arrest for a period of over two years during criminal proceedings in which he was accused of drug trafficking. It raises problems concerning the length of pre-trial detention similar to those in Rimschi v. the Republic of Moldova (no. 1649/12, §§ 14-22, 13 January 2015). The applicant also complains about the poor conditions of detention in Prison No. 13.
QUESTIONS tO THE PARTIES
1. Was the length of the applicant’s pre-trial detention in breach of the “reasonable time” requirement of Article 5 § 3 of the Convention (see Rimschi v. the Republic of Moldova, no. 1649/12, §§ 14-22, 13 January 2015)?
2. Did the material conditions of the applicant’s detention in Prison No. 13 amount to inhuman or degrading treatment under Article 3 of the Convention (see Shishanov v. the Republic of Moldova, no. 11353/06, 15 September 2015)?
