Preventive detention denied for arson suspect due to mandatory residence obligation for elderly defendant.

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa denied the request for preventive detention against a 79-year-old defendant accused of arson. The prosecution argued that strong indicators of the crime and a risk of flight justified coercive measures, while the defense likely contested the necessity given the defendant's age. The court ruled that the statutory obligation to remain at the defendant's residence rendered additional detention measures unnecessary and disproportionate.
