Case: An alternative measure in the form of bail was provided
Service: Change of preventive measure
Prikhodko and Partners was approached by a client who was informed of the suspicion of committing a particularly serious crime – high treason, stipulated in Part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The article provides for severe punishment, including imprisonment for a term of up to 15 years or life imprisonment.
Position of the prosecution
The investigation insisted on choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention without bail, referring to the gravity of the incriminated crime and the risks stipulated in Article 177 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
How did we act?
After joining the case, the lawyer:
- The materials of the criminal proceedings were fully analyzed.
- A number of procedural points were identified that cast doubt on the validity of choosing the most severe preventive measure.
- Reasoned objections to the prosecution’s motion were prepared.
- Arguments were provided in court regarding the absence of real risks that would justify detention.
- The suspect’s personal characteristics, her place of residence, stable social ties, and cooperation with the investigation were emphasized.
Result
The court did not satisfy the request for detention without alternative and chose a preventive measure in the form of detention with the possibility of posting bail. After posting bail, the client remained at large during the pre-trial investigation. Subsequently, the lawyer ensured the continuation of the court’s decision without tightening the conditions of the preventive measure.
Thanks to the lawyer’s timely and professional intervention, the client avoided unjustified deprivation of liberty, retained freedom of movement, and the opportunity to fully participate in her defense.
