Portuguese court denies preventive detention appeal for drug trafficking where social alarm and lack of illness justify the measure.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal against preventive detention, confirming the lower court's decision to keep the defendant incarcerated. The defendant was charged with drug trafficking, evidenced by drugs found on their person, seized cash, and their own statements, which carried a potential sentence of six to twelve years. The court ruled that the social alarm caused by the crime and the absence of any medical condition necessitating release made the detention measure necessary and justified.
