Question juridique clé
Whether the bail requirement for provisional release remained legally justified
Solution extraite
The legal basis for release on bail remained in principle available, but the amount fixed had to be compatible with the applicant's means and the proportionality of preventive detention.
Motifs extraits
Bail may secure appearance and must be assessed against the accused's resources and access to funds. A prohibitive amount is unlawful if the authority should know it is impossible to raise. The seriousness of the alleged embezzlement may be considered, but the court could not ignore the changed financial and evidentiary circumstances.
