The Court treated the gravity of the accusations, the applicant's alleged principal role, and the risk of influencing investor-witnesses or otherwise prejudicing the fair conduct of trial as decisive against release. Delay in trial was not sufficient by itself, especially where part of the delay was attributable to the accused.
