The High Court of Cassation and Justice reversed the Court of Appeal's decision to release the defendant from preventive detention, thereby upholding the prosecution's appeal and reinstating the pre-trial custody ordered by the first-instance tribunal. The case involved a criminal appeal against a procedural ruling that had lifted the defendant's arrest, despite his conviction for pimping and illegal deprivation of liberty; the defendant argued that his poor health necessitated release, whereas the prosecution contended that preventive detention remained necessary for public order. Relying on Article 385(15)(2)(d) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Supreme Court determined that the medical evidence showed the defendant's illness could be treated within the prison healthcare network, thereby invalidating the health-based justification for release and confirming that the original grounds for preventive detention persisted.

Asupra recursului de față,

Din actele dosarului, constată următoarele:

Tribunalul Brașov, prin sentința nr. 590 din 5 noiembrie 2004, condamnă pe inculpatul H.K.B.C. la 7 ani de închisoare și 5 ani interzicerea unor drepturi, pentru infracțiunile de proxenetism și lipsire de libertate în mod ilegal, prevăzute de art. 329 alin. (1), (2) și (3), cu aplicarea art. 41 alin. (2) și art. 37 lit. b) C. pen. și de art. 33 și art. 34 din același cod și îl menține în stare de arest.

Inculpatul declară apel.

Curtea de Apel Brașov, prin încheierea din 15 decembrie 2004 (dosar 1758/P/Ap/2004), revocă arestarea preventivă a inculpatului, cu motivarea esențială, că el nu prezintă pericol pentru ordinea publică și are o sănătate precară.

Parchetul de pe lângă aceeași instanță declară recurs, cerând menținerea inculpatului în stare de arest.

Recursul este fondat.

Actele medicale atestă că boala de care suferă inculpatul poate fi tratată în rețeaua sanitară a D.G.P.

Subzistă în continuare motivele arestării preventive a inculpatului.

Așa fiind, în baza art. 38515 pct. 2 lit. d) C. proc. pen., recursul parchetului va fi admis, conform dispozitivului deciziei.
