He added that “the court considered that there was only one danger of flight, and for that reason the Public Prosecutor’s Office filed an appeal that has already been brought to the court, meaning that in the coming days the Court of Appeal will decide whether or not the defendant’s freedom is a danger to society, and whether the pre-trial detention should be replaced by the payment of a bond or denied that possibility” Added.
