Services: Opening of criminal proceedings
A client contacted the law firm after her ex-partner searched her for a large sum of money that was transferred for the purchase of a shared home.
The cohabitant had no desire to resolve this situation peacefully, avoiding in every possible way a direct dialogue about the return of the money.
Thus, it was decided to apply with a written statement (notice) about the commission of fraudulent actions on an especially large scale, in wartime conditions, that is, a criminal offense, liability for which is provided for under Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, namely, the seizure of someone else’s property or the acquisition of rights to property by deception and abuse of trust to the district police department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Kyiv region.
The lawyers of the Prykhodko and Partners bureau helped the client draw up the relevant procedural document and contact the police with a corresponding statement about the commission of a crime.
But, unfortunately, as has often happened lately, the police did not enter information about the commission of a crime, registered the client’s statement about the commission of a crime, as an ordinary appeal of citizens. He thus deprived her of the legal rights granted to the victim, and, accordingly, even of the hope for a positive resolution of the situation in accordance with the requirements of current legislation.
This is a direct violation of the norms of the criminal procedure code and prevents an objective solution to problematic issues, as required by law.
The lawyers of the bureau prepared a complaint to the investigating judge on the inaction of the police authorities on this situation.
The said complaint was fully satisfied by the investigating judge and a corresponding Resolution was issued, by which the Boryspil District Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Kyiv Region is obliged to enter information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations.
After the relevant court ruling was issued, with the intervention and under the control of the law firm, a pre-trial investigation was initiated, in which the law firm continues to represent the interests of the client as a party to the crime, resolving the client’s main request – to restore her rights and restore the state that existed before the crime was committed.
The law firm continues to actively use procedural rights to further protect the interests of the client already in the status of a victim of the crime within the framework of the initiated criminal proceedings.
