According to RPP, the Supreme Court determined in its resolution that the defendant’s right to personal liberty had been violated and erroneously analyzed the dangers of escape, as well as of obstruction in relation to the case in question.
According to the Supreme Court, the defendant complied with the summons and observed his procedural duty to be subject to the case. Also, he assured that There are no indications that Simon Munaro has carried out maneuvers to escape, since he does not hold a public position that gives him the power to rule out court orders and thus escape the country.
In this regard, it stated that the restrictions imposed by the Criminal Court of First Instance would be sufficient for the respective case.
