Court dismisses bail review and extension request after defendant convicted for same theft offense.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court rejected the prosecutor's request to extend pre-trial detention under Article 67b of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the defense's appeal to lift it. The prosecutor argued for continued detention after the police judge convicted the defendant of theft, while the defense claimed wrongful deprivation of liberty. The court ruled that Article 67b prohibits new detention orders after a final judgment, and since the defendant was convicted of the same theft, no grounds for lifting detention existed.
