Questione giuridica chiave
Whether pretrial detention had to be lifted because the investigation allegedly violated the duty of expedition under Art. 31(3) BV and Art. 5(3) ECHR.
Decisione estratta
The delay was not so serious as to make the detention unlawful or justify immediate release; the cantonal court could instead instruct the investigation authority to proceed with particular urgency.
Motivazione estratta
In detention review, a speediness complaint leads to release only if the delay is particularly serious and shows that the authorities are unwilling or unable to advance the case promptly. Here, the investigation was essentially near completion, and a four-month period for drafting the indictment in a complex case was still acceptable, though at the upper limit.
