Where charges remain unframed and completion of extensive money-laundering and predicate-offence trials is not reasonably foreseeable, prolonged pre-trial detention cannot become punitive or indefinite. Compliance with bail conditions in the predicate case, the availability of stringent safeguards, and parity with similarly placed co-accused support satisfaction of the statutory conditions.
