Question juridique clé
Whether the continuation of pre-trial detention violated personal liberty and the ECHR because the required flight risk was absent.
Solution extraite
The detention was lawful because concrete indicators supported a sufficient risk that the appellant would evade the proceedings or punishment by flight.
Motifs extraits
The court relied on the seriousness of the alleged knife assault, the expected custodial sentence, the appellant's prior disappearance and lack of reliable availability to authorities, and his unstable work situation. It held that these factors together made flight risk sufficiently probable.
