At this regard, it is worth stressing out that only the persons who are in detention for one of some certain serious crimes listed by the law, participate remotely – as a general rule – in the hearings of the trials in which they are charged, also relating to crimes in relation to which they have not been arrested. In the same way they participate in criminal hearings and civil hearings in which they must be examined as witnesses.
Likewise, the persons admitted to protection programs or measures, including those of an urgent or temporary nature, participate remotely in the hearings of the trials in which they are accused.
Apart from the aforementioned cased, the Judge may order remote participation, by reasoned decree, also when there are security reasons, if the hearing is particularly complex and it is necessary to avoid delays in its development, or when it is necessary to take the testimony of a person in a state of detention in a penitentiary institution.
