The applicant, Gianni Nerattini, is an Italian national who was born in 1938 and lives in Samos (Greece). Relying on Article 6.2 (presumption of innocence), Mr Nerattini complains that his indictment in 2007 on drug-related charges also stated that he was guilty of misappropriation of antiquities even though he had not been formally accused or tried for such acts. He also alleges that his pre-trial detention was not necessary, in breach of Article 5.3 (right to liberty and security).
