Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the continuation of pretrial detention was justified by a concrete risk of collusion during the ongoing investigation.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The court held that the risk of collusion remained concrete because the appellant could contact co-suspects or unidentified accomplices and interfere with the investigation or the search for the stolen gold.
Extrahierte Begründung
A collusion risk may justify detention only if it is concrete and the authority indicates, at least in outline, the remaining investigative acts and how release would jeopardize them. Here the investigation still sought to identify participants and locate the proceeds, and the appellant's role in recruiting accomplices made the risk sufficiently plausible.
