More detailed summary: I.________ was arrested by the Prosecutor's Office of the Canton of Strada on June 14, 2019, after being found in a car with drugs and weapons. On June 24, 2019, he was remanded in custody. The public prosecutor's office requested an extension of the pre-trial detention for three months, which was approved by the Forced Measures Court on June 12, 2020. I.________ filed an appeal against this decision. He argued that the pre-trial detention was not justified, since he did not pose a threat of escape, and also did not cooperate with the police. The Federal Court dismissed the appeal. It was determined that I.________ posed a flight risk, as he could be staying abroad. In addition, he could destroy evidence or influence witnesses upon his release. The Federal Supreme Court emphasized that pre-trial detention is a serious interference with personal freedom, but also an important means of solving crimes. In this case, the pre-trial detention was justified in order not to jeopardize the investigation.
