Questione giuridica chiave
Whether security detention could be maintained on the basis of a risk of reoffending and despite proposed substitute measures.
Decisione estratta
The detention was lawful because serious charges, a sufficiently unfavorable prognosis in light of the grave alleged offence, and the lack of concrete guarantees for release justified the detention; substitute measures remained dependent on admission to a psychiatric-type home.
Motivazione estratta
The Court relied on the gravity of the alleged offence, the appellant's unstable personal and psychiatric history, the fact that the conduct occurred even in a structured residential setting, and the absence of convincing release arrangements. It held that the expert report did not exclude recidivism and that Article 237 CPP did not require release where substitute measures were not yet concretely implementable.
