Guillou has found that there is nothing new to change Procrouse's claims concerning the dangers of escaping Salih Mustafa, witnessing intervention and the possibility of committing any crime.

“The judge of the preliminary procedure finds that there is no information or development in the current procedures that undermine the definition that there are grounds to believe that the three risks envisioned in Article 41 (6) (b) (i) é (ii) of the law continue to exist”, the verdict concludes say.

Mustafa had submitted had offered some conditions for release, but those for the Special Court are insufficient.
