Questão jurídica principal
Whether continued pretrial detention was justified by a concrete and serious risk of collusion.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The court held that the record showed concrete indications of intimidation and that the risk could persist until the trial court ruled on evidence.
Fundamentação extraída
A collusion risk must be concrete, not merely abstract. The applicant's alleged intimidations toward a key witness supported such a risk; his denial of the charges and reliance on silence could not alone justify detention, but the witness statements made the risk real.
