Questione giuridica chiave
Whether W.________ was entitled to an ex officio defence counsel in the criminal investigation
Decisione estratta
No. The case involved no particular factual or legal difficulty, was not sufficiently serious on its own, pre-trial detention lasted only 16 days, and indigence was not established.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 29(3) of the Federal Constitution and Art. 104 CPP, ex officio defence is required only where the defence rights so require, in particular when the case is complex or serious. Those conditions were not met here.
