Key legal question
Whether the continued pretrial detention was proportionate under Art. 212(3) StPO
Extracted holding
The detention remained proportionate because the expected prison sentence still exceeded the time spent in custody.
Extracted reasoning
The accusations were serious and numerous; on the court's prior assessment a multi-year sentence was to be expected. About 17 months of detention did not exceed that likely sentence, and conditional or partial suspension of the sentence was irrelevant to the comparison.
