Question juridique clé
Whether continued pre-trial detention was justified by a concrete risk of flight despite proposed substitute measures.
Solution extraite
Yes, the risk of flight remained concrete and the proposed substitute measures were insufficient.
Motifs extraits
The accused had ties both to Switzerland and abroad, faced a serious prison term, and spent much of the year in the United States. Given the intensity of the flight risk, residence, electronic monitoring, identity-paper deposit, and periodic police reporting would not reliably secure his appearance.
