Question juridique clé
Whether breaches of Arts. 219(4) and 224(2) CCP required immediate release from pretrial detention.
Solution extraite
The missed deadlines did not automatically make the detention unlawful; however, the violation of the principle of speed had to be acknowledged and remedied by an express finding.
Motifs extraits
Only the time until the detention judge's decision is decisive. The 48-hour prosecutorial deadline and 24-hour police deadline are important but not mere order deadlines. Detention becomes unlawful only if the overall first 96 hours reveal a serious delay or if the detention decision is not issued in time. Here the detention decision was rendered within 96 hours and the overall delay was not grave enough to require release.
