Question juridique clé
Whether the detention request had to be in written, signed form before the detention court could order pre-trial detention.
Solution extraite
Article 224(2) CPP requires a written request; an email may notify the court, but the written request must be in the court's possession before the detention order is issued.
Motifs extraits
The text of Art. 224(2) CPP is clear. The written request serves as the substitute for an arrest warrant and as the act seising the detention court. A simple email does not satisfy the written-form requirement absent valid electronic signature.
