Explicaciones
- Text:
El artículo 48 coincide con los apartados 2 y 3 del artículo 6 del CEDH, que dicen lo siguiente:
`2. Toda persona acusada de una infracción se presume inocente hasta que su culpabilidad haya sido legalmente declarada.
3. Todo acusado tiene, como mínimo, los siguientes derechos:
a) a ser informado, en el más breve plazo, en una lengua que comprenda y detalladamente, de la naturaleza y de la causa de la acusación formulada contra él;
b) a disponer del tiempo y de las facilidades necesarias para la preparación de su defensa;
c) a defenderse por sí mismo o a ser asistido por un defensor de su elección y, si no tiene medios para pagarlo, a poder ser asistido gratuitamente por un abogado de oficio, cuando los intereses de la justicia lo exijan;
d) a interrogar o hacer interrogar a los testigos que declaren contra él y a obtener la citación y el interrogatorio de los testigos que declaren en su favor en las mismas condiciones que los testigos que lo hagan en su contra;
e) a ser asistido gratuitamente por un intérprete, si no comprende o no habla la lengua empleada en la audiencia.`
De conformidad con el apartado 3 del artículo 52, este derecho tiene el mismo sentido y alcance que el derecho garantizado por el CEDH.
