Key legal question
Whether pre-trial detention could be ordered on grounds of flight risk.
Extracted holding
Yes. The concrete circumstances gave sufficient indications that the accused might evade prosecution and execution of any sentence by fleeing.
Extracted reasoning
The seriousness of the threatened punishment was relevant but not sufficient alone. It had to be assessed together with the accused's overall circumstances, including pending serious proceedings, lack of stable work and housing, expired residence permit, police search for his whereabouts, and foreign ties.
