Key legal question
Whether the refusal to appoint court-appointed defense under Art. 132 CPP was lawful
Extracted holding
The appellant did not show factual or legal difficulties requiring appointed counsel; the prosecutor's refusal was upheld.
Extracted reasoning
The case was not objectively complex, the appellant's financial and personal situation was irrelevant, and the alleged factual disputes were vague. The assistance of counsel was not necessary to safeguard his interests.
