Resumo Omnilex

The court upheld the precautionary seizure of the appellant's pistol. Although the appellant had already been convicted of theft, the decisive factor was the overall risk evidenced by the presence of paramilitary-type material at his home. The court held that this conduct justified maintaining the preventive measure and rejected the challenge to the seizure.

Sumário Omnilex

CCAM.5; precautionary seizure of a weapon may be maintained where the person's conduct, assessed in the round, discloses a general danger. A criminal conviction, together with the keeping of paramilitary-type material at home, may justify the confirmation of the measure; the preventive assessment is based on the overall circumstances and not on the isolated offence alone.
