    I think the English media is misreporting this. He’s been remanded to jail pending trial as a potential flight risk, but he can leave jail by posting a bond.

    I think Swiss media just reports it differently because it’s more common to be let go with a promise to reappear for your trial, so they report this as his being remanded as a flight risk, whereby in American and Britain the default is typically being released on bail, so reporting that they were remanded implies that bail was denied.
