Key legal question
Whether refusing free legal representation in the enforcement-detention extension proceedings violated Art. 29 para. 3 BV
Extracted holding
No. In enforcement detention, the request for appointed counsel may be rejected when the motion is evidently hopeless and the case presents no special legal or factual difficulty.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that, unlike necessary representation, constitutional free legal aid under Art. 29 para. 3 BV remains subject to the requirement that the request not be hopeless. In the concrete second extension of enforcement detention, no new or complex issues arose; the legality of removal and cooperation duties had already been addressed, and the detention duration remained well below the statutory maximum.
