Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the detention was justified by flight risk
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The concrete circumstances, combined with the expected substantial prison sentence, made a serious risk of flight sufficiently likely.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the severity of the potential sentence is only an indication, but it may be considered together with personal circumstances. Here, the accused had debt, no profession, weak financial prospects, links to Peru, and a plausible ability to flee or disappear. Her arguments about family ties and concern for her son were not convincing in light of the alleged criminal conduct.
