You clearly do not understand the general procedure stated in European crime laws. In most EU countries, the police cannot arrest you, after being charged, unless they can prove that: - you are likely to escape; - you are likely to commit the crime again; - you are likely and able to destroy or conceal evidence or somehow manipulate witnesses. Let me say this again: *after* you have been charged. This comes from the principle that you are considered innocent until proven guilty, that is, until the last court appeal was unsuccessful. This usually means 3 trials, and years later than the criminal proceeding start.
