„THREATENED SEVERE PUNISHMENT” AS AN INDEPENDENT BASIS FOR PRE-TRIAL DETENTION AFTER THE AMENDMENT OF ART. 258 OF THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

Abstract

The article discusses the controversy surrounding the recognition of the threat of a severe punishment of a suspect as an independent basis for the use of temporary custody. It presents positions on this problem based in particular on the wording of Art. 258 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in force in the period from 1 June 2015 to 15 April 2016 and the reasons for abandoning the amendment in question.
