1. Purpose of Publication
The documentation published on this website is made available exclusively for documentary defence and transparency, in the lawful exercise of the right of defence guaranteed by:
- Article 24 of the Italian Constitution
- Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)
- Article 51 of the Italian Criminal Code
The publication is not intended to harm any party, but to restore procedural balance and ensure that the fundamental rights of the data subject are recognised and protected.
2. Types of Material Published
Criminal case documents and official correspondence: originally produced in the United Kingdom, now published under exclusive Italian jurisdiction.
Email and postal correspondence with authorities and legal representatives: published only when strictly necessary for defence purposes, excluding any third‑party sensitive data.
Newspaper articles: cited as documentary sources, with links to the originals. Copyright remains with the original publishers.
Names of journalists: included solely for source attribution. These names are already public as they appear as signatures on the original articles and do not constitute sensitive data.
Screenshots and source code: retained privately as evidence of the harm suffered; images of the articles themselves are not published.
3. Notifications, Requests and SARs
Subject Access Requests (SARs) submitted to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) resulted in partial disclosure, omitting documents essential for defence.
SARs submitted to legal representatives received obstructive responses and did not result in the delivery of the required material.
Since SARs concern the data subject’s personal data, failure to provide them constitutes a violation of the right of access under:
- GDPR Article 15
- the Italian Privacy Code
The publication of such obstruction is carried out exclusively for defence and transparency purposes, in the lawful exercise of the right of defence (Art. 24 Italian Constitution, Art. 6 ECHR, Art. 51 Italian Criminal Code).
