About the video

No. Pre-trial detention is the most severe protective measure in criminal procedure and may be applied only if the strict conditions laid down by law are met together.

The video briefly explains the conditions for detention, what strong suspicion of a crime means, when judicial control can be applied instead of detention, and why detention is an exceptional measure. Detention is not a punishment but a temporary protective measure used while proceedings are ongoing.
