The accused's application for release from custody under section 525 was dismissed on secondary grounds.
The accused sought release from custody under s. 525 of the Criminal Code, having been detained on serious drug and firearm charges.
He presented a new release plan with multiple sureties, electronic monitoring, and medical evidence of hypertension, which heightened his risk from COVID-19.
The court considered the new plan and the COVID-19 risk but ultimately dismissed the application, finding that the accused's continued detention was necessary on secondary grounds due to a substantial likelihood of re-offending, particularly given his alleged breaches of prior release conditions and continued involvement in the drug trade.
