Question juridique clé
Whether pretrial detention could continue on the ground of flight risk
Solution extraite
Yes. The combined circumstances, especially the expected severe custodial sentence and the accused's life situation, sufficiently established flight risk.
Motifs extraits
Flight risk requires a certain likelihood of evasion. The court held that the severity of the threatened sentence is only an indication, but here it was reinforced by the accused's false identity in the asylum process, lack of stable work, strained marital ties, prior conviction, and remaining ties to his home country.
