Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the continuation of detention as security detention required the accused's personal hearing.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. In a continuation-of-detention decision under § 67 StPO/ZH after indictment, the accused had no right to a personal hearing; a written statement was sufficient.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court distinguished a continuation of existing pre-trial detention under § 67 StPO/ZH from a first detention order. The guarantees of Art. 31(3) BV and Art. 5(3) EMRK, including personal hearing by the arresting judge, do not apply. The relevant standards are Art. 31(4) BV and Art. 5(4) EMRK, which can be satisfied by obtaining written submissions. The later release procedure under § 68 StPO/ZH remained reserved.
