Key legal question
Whether the continuation of pretrial detention was justified by repetition risk under § 58 Abs. 1 Ziff. 3 StPO/ZH.
Extracted holding
Yes. The court held that several serious threat incidents, together with a prior conviction for attempted coercion, made repetition risk sufficiently concrete and grave.
Extracted reasoning
Threats of death, a gun-related threat relayed through a third party, the victim's concrete fear, and the applicant's immediate disregard of the contact ban established a very high risk of reoffending. Threats need not always be bagatelle offenses; in context they can qualify as serious offenses.
