Judgment_paragraph 28 · Criminal proceedings against FP and Others (C-760/22)

28Accordingly, in the light of the limited scope of the harmonisation carried out by that directive and the fact that Article 8(1) thereof does not govern the issue of whether the Member States may provide that the accused person may, at his or her express request, participate in the hearings in his or her criminal trial by videoconference, such an issue falls within the scope of national law (see, by analogy, judgment of 15 September 2022, HN (Trial of an accused person removed from the territory), C‑420/20, EU:C:2022:679, paragraph 42).
