Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the extension of pretrial detention was justified by concrete collusion risk.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The record contained concrete indications that the defendant might coordinate testimony and influence witnesses if released.
Motivazione estratta
The investigation was ongoing, the defendant denied the accusations, statements were contradictory, and he had friendly/family ties to persons implicated in the drug trade. In cases of organized drug dealing, witness intimidation is a realistic danger, so the risk was not merely theoretical.
