2017 issued by administrative authorities of the Respondent State must be brought before the Administrative Chamber of the Supreme Court. 33. The Court notes that although the Applicant asserts that he pursued a remedy before the said Chamber of the Supreme Court seeking annulment of the Suspension Order and the Dismissal Decree, he does not provide any evidence to prove the existence of the said procedure or the outcome thereof, despite the fact that the Court, on 10 July 2023, requested him to do so. The Court therefore considers that the Applicant did not exhaust local remedies in respect of the violations resulting from the Suspension Order and the Dismissal Decree. 34. With regard to the criminal proceedings before the CRIET, the Court recalls the Applicant’s assertion that the said Court convicted him on 29 June 2020, which the Respondent State confirms.

The appeal may thus be filed by the accused or by any other person duly empowered to do so.10 It follows 9 Law No. 2020-07 of 17 February 2020 amending and supplementing the law on the CRIET, Article 6 new: "the Court for the Repression of Economic Offences and Terrorism is composed of: a judgment chamber, an appeal chamber ...

Decisions handed down by the Appeals Chamber may be appealed to the Supreme Court by the convicted person, the Public Prosecutor and the civil parties, in accordance with the conditions, procedures, forms and deadlines laid down in the Code of Criminal Procedure". 10 Law No. 2012-15 of 30 March 2012 on the code of criminal procedure, article 519: "... the declaration 11
