legally, the regime cannot remove (destroy) him
They can't remove himlegally so they will try other means. Illness possibly as a result of poisoning perhaps.

French term (edited):
juridiquement
through the legal system
Myabe this is one of my own "bêtes noires" but 'juridiquement' does not mean legally in the sense of its opposite being illegal. It means via the legal system, thus through the courts. Do you see what I mean?
The régime cannot destroy her through the legal system and we fear they may resort to other means.

Although the final result may indeed be that the means employed are illegal!
