Key legal question
Whether the alleged breach of the right to trial within a reasonable time required a reduction of the sentence.
Extracted holding
No violation of the speediness requirement was established; therefore no sentence reduction was warranted.
Extracted reasoning
The case was complex, involved multiple interconnected co-accused and serious drug, organization, money-laundering and aiding offences, and the overall duration showed no extreme inactivity gaps. The time between procedural stages was considered reasonable in light of the workload and the joint nature of the proceedings.
