could you please proofread the following sentence:
XY nor his defence counsel, as the case may be, was allowed to inspect the file, because XY could not have been served the order on commencement of the prosecution in the USA and called to witness up to now, which means that he has no procedural status in this criminal procedure and has still been only suspected.
Neither XY nor his defence counsel was allowed to inspect the file, and because XY could not have been served the order[What kind of order was this?] on commencement of the prosecution in the USA and nor has been called as witness up to now, he has no procedural status in this criminal trial.
Without full context, this is guesswork, but would make sense.
