The applicant, Turgay Kadiroğlu, is a Turkish national who was born 1960 and lives in Samsun (Turkey).
Relying on Article 6 § 1 (right to a fair hearing within a reasonable time), he complained about the excessive length of criminal proceedings that resulted in his acquittal.
The Court held, unanimously, that there had been a violation of Article 6 § 1 on account of the excessive length (eight years and seven months) of the criminal proceedings in question. The applicant was awarded EUR 4,500 in respect of non-pecuniary damage. (The judgment is available only in French.)
