SummaryUnofficial

The appellant, held in pre-trial detention since December 2016, lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against the decision of the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court refusing his habeas corpus application, alleging that the pre-trial detention time limit had been exceeded. The Court dismissed the appeal because he had meanwhile been convicted at first instance and the risk of flight, the risk of further offending and the protection of public order justified continued detention.
