The applicant, Mr Gy�rgy G�l , is a Hungarian national who was born in 1954 and lives in Budapest . He was represented before the Court by Ms K. T�th , a lawyer practising in Budapest .
The facts of the case, as submitted by the applicant, may be summarised as follows.
It appears that in 2006 criminal proceedings were initiated against the applicant on charges of aggravated fraud and other offences committed in a criminal network.
On 27 November 2008 he was detained on remand. His detention was prolonged at the statutory intervals; references were made to the dangers of him absconding or colluding and that of repetition of crime. His requests for release or house arrest were to no avail, and he would have been released only against bail of 100 million Hungarian forints (HUF) [1] which he could not pay since the entirety of his assets had already been attached. On 28 July 2010 the Budapest Court of Appeal rejected one of his appeals without awaiting the reasoned appeal of his lawyer.
The applicant submits that the courts gave no adequate reasoning as to the existence of the dangers invoked, especially given the facts that he had voluntarily returned from abroad and placed himself at the authorities � disposal at the beginning of the proceedings, that his detention continued even after the closing of the investigation, and that his previous employment � the alleged framework of the offences reproached against him � had already ceased. Moreover, the authorities have failed to establish a reasonable suspicion against him, notably by refusing to appoint a forensic accountant.
