Question juridique clé
Whether the lower court erred in finding a violation of the speedy-trial principle due to alleged procedural inactivity from July 2005 to August 2006.
Solution extraite
The finding was based on an incomplete assessment of the record; documented investigative acts during that period could not be ignored.
Motifs extraits
The file showed interrogations, review of mutual legal assistance materials, summonses, translation tasks, and procedural orders that advanced the case. The lower court therefore made an arbitrary factual finding by treating the period as a complete standstill.
