Question juridique clé
Whether the extension of pretrial detention could be maintained on the ground of flight risk.
Solution extraite
Yes. In light of the accused's remaining ties to Kosovo, the imminent referral for trial, and the seriousness of the potential sentence, a probable flight risk could not be excluded.
Motifs extraits
Flight risk must be assessed on all circumstances, not on the seriousness of the offence alone. Here, despite strong ties to Switzerland, the accused still had meaningful links to Kosovo, including a brother there, a house he financed, and regular travel there; the appellate court could therefore find a probable risk of absconding.
