If he is charged, he may be held in police custody until the next available court providing certain criteria is met, the Mendy case is a series of allegations. Under these circumstances I suspect he will be bailed pending further investigation by the police to return at a given date in the future. Should he then be charged again certain criteria has to be met to hold him in custody for the next court. Its called the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, which dictates when police can and can't hold someone.
Is that recently or is that the Sigurðsson one? I think the rumours of Sigurðsson came out in the summer.
Mendy was a series of unconnected rapes. If MG is charged, I would expect him to be held in police custody until his Magistrate Court hearing. You may well be right that GMP bail him pending further enquiries. It is 20 years since I directly practised criminal law. I’m an operational law SME now so if the question was how could we lawfully kill him… I could give you chapter and verse (assuming he was a threat to National security)*. *obviously hypothetical. MoH
When dealing with CID, I used to love a pre-pared statement followed by a no comment interview. All permissible under PACE 84 but the fuss they kicked up you would think they had never actually read any of it… MoH
Then you'll be well versed in the custody sgts giving their reasoning for keeping the accused in til the next available court, and vice versa releasing those they couldn't justify lol .. probably through gritted teeth half the tine
To all 3 replies. Yep, but that's the issue - it should never be complicated. Any doubt that your not getting treated right, get the hell out. It really shouldn't be more complicated. Unfortunately people are too good at complicating life.
He played 36 league games last season for Everton and then was left out of the squad in the summer for this season. Hasn’t played at all. There were also rumours circulating online in Icelandic media about it being him. You are right that Everton didn’t name him as the player they suspended due to a police investigation. They’ve been tight-lipped about the whole thing. Apparently he’s out on bail.
I was tracking it was an overseas player. I just assumed he was injured but now you have mentioned it, I have not heard anyone talking about him e.g. his projected return date so it does fit. MoH
