224As the General Court noted, in essence, in paragraph 173 of the judgment under appeal, it follows from the case-law of the ECtHR, first, that the presumption of innocence is infringed if a judicial decision or official statement concerning an accused person reflects the feeling that he or she is guilty, although his or her guilt has not previously been established in accordance with the law and, secondly, while the authorities may inform the public about ongoing criminal investigations, they must do so with all the discretion and reserve required by respect for the presumption of innocence (see, to that effect, ECtHR, 22 May 2014, Ilgar Mammadov v. Azerbaijan, CE:ECHR:2014:0522JUD001517213, §§ 125 and 126).
