Questione giuridica chiave
Whether continued pretrial detention was justified by flight risk under Art. 221 StPO.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The defendant’s weak ties to Switzerland, family ties in Germany, and the seriousness of the expected sentence made flight seriously likely.
Motivazione estratta
The court relied on lack of roots in Switzerland, foreign family ties, and the prospect of a substantial custodial sentence. The defendant’s conduct immediately after the incident did not rule out later flight risk because he initially could still hope to avoid criminal proceedings.
