Bonn: Wanted 36-year-old arrested on flight to Spain!

On Monday, a 36-year-old man from Bonn was arrested at Cologne/Bonn Airport while he was on his way to Alicante, Spain. The arrest took place at aviation security shortly before his departure and is in connection with an existing arrest warrant. The man is suspected of having committed crimes to the detriment of people. As Rheinische Anzeigeblatt reports, the location of his cell phone provided the decisive clue for the arrest. The alleged perpetrator's cell phone was seized and the investigation was continued.

The cooperation between the federal police and the Duisburg police headquarters is highlighted as particularly successful, as the suspect was transferred to the Duisburg police as part of the case processing. In such cases, it is often examined whether the legal requirements for pre-trial detention are met.

Pretrial detention and its requirements

But what does it actually mean to be taken into custody? According to Juracademy, pre-trial detention comes into force when the proper conduct of criminal proceedings must be ensured. This requires the formal and material requirements such as strong suspicion of a crime and the existence of grounds for detention. Danger of absconding is the most common reason that can lead to the ordering of pre-trial detention, as Criminal Law Nationwide makes clear.

The risk of absconding arises when it is likely that the accused could evade criminal proceedings. A planned stay abroad, like the one from Bonn, can make this seem obvious. However, it should be noted that not every stay abroad automatically means there is a risk of absconding; Rather, other factors such as the intentional escape and the personal circumstances of the accused must be taken into account.

The further process

What happens now to the arrested man? After the arrest, he is immediately brought before the responsible judge, in accordance with Section 115 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This means he has the opportunity to file legal remedies against the arrest warrant, such as an application for a habeas corpus or a detention complaint. Continued pre-trial detention is regularly reviewed to ensure that it complies with legal requirements.

It remains to be seen whether the man from Bonn will ultimately remain in custody. The investigation is in full swing as the focus remains on this case. It remains to be seen how the legal conditions will develop and what further information will come to light.
