Question juridique clé
Whether there was sufficient flight risk to justify continued pretrial detention.
Solution extraite
Yes. Serious expected punishment, limited ties to Switzerland, strong links to the Dominican Republic, and anticipated residual prison term established concrete flight risk.
Motifs extraits
The Court held that sentence severity is only an indicator, but here it combined with the defendant's nationality, family and property ties abroad, short stay in Switzerland, and likely multi-year sentence to create serious indications of flight risk.
