The applicant was detained from 15 February 2022 to 12 August 2022 on the basis of a detention order later renewed three times. The legality of his detention was assessed several times, covering the period from 15 February 2022 to 14 June 2022. The applicant then requested a review of the legality of his detention from 15 June 2022 onwards. On 27 June 2022, the Council Chamber declared the second extension decision of 14 June 2022 lawful. The applicant appealed against this decision but on 12 July 2022, his appeal was declared unfounded by the Board of Indictment. On 9 August 2022, the rejection of his appeal was set aside by the Court of Cassation. After his release on 12 August 2022, his appeal was rejected by the Board of Indictment for the second time, this time for being devoid of purpose due to his release. The applicant appealed in cassation against this decision. On 27 September 2022, the Court of Cassation ruled in his favour, noting that the applicant’s right to an effective remedy protected under Article 5(4) ECHR does not end with his release from detention. The Court of Cassation once again referred the case to the Board of Indictment for a new judgment.
