Question juridique clé
Whether the applicant’s right to be informed of the reasons for detention and to access decisive files was violated
Solution extraite
The authorities initially failed to communicate the essential content of the new scientific evidence, but the defect was cured in the federal proceedings; access to the decisive earlier-file materials was sufficient.
Motifs extraits
Article 29(2) and Article 31(2) BV, together with Article 5(2) EMRK, require disclosure of the essential detention-related material, not the entire case file. The applicant could comment on the DNA-analysis point in his reply, curing the earlier information defect.
