Regular bail was granted in a customs smuggling investigation because the case rested chiefly on documentary material already in the custody of the DRI. The court noted that the applicant's statements had been recorded repeatedly, no incriminating material was found at his residence, and further custodial interrogation was unnecessary for confrontation with the documents. It also took into account the applicant's long custody, absence of antecedents, and regular income-tax compliance, holding that concerns about absconding or interference could be addressed by bail conditions. Continued detention was therefore found unwarranted.
