Case circumstances
In November 2024, a Client contacted “Prіkhodko and Partners” regarding whom criminal proceedings had been initiated. The Senior Investigator of Department 1 of the Pre-Trial Investigation Department of the State Security Service of the SBU filed a motion with the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv to extend the preventive measure in the form of detention. The court of first instance supported the prosecution and decided to extend the detention period.
Since such a preventive measure significantly limited the Client’s rights and was not the only possible alternative, the lawyers of “Prіkhodko and Partners” Law Firm promptly took up the case in order to change the preventive measure to bail.
Legal strategy for protection against the law firm “Prіkhodko and Partners”
After a detailed analysis of the circumstances of the case and the current legislation, the responsible lawyer Zvonenko Olena prepared and filed an appeal with the Kyiv Court of Appeal.
In her arguments, the lawyer emphasized the following aspects:
- The absence of justified risks that would justify the need for detention.
- The possibility of applying an alternative preventive measure in the form of bail, which would ensure the Client’s fulfillment of all procedural obligations.
- Violation of the Client’s constitutional rights due to the disproportionality of the applied preventive measure.
Result
The Kyiv Court of Appeal took into account all the comments of the defense and satisfied the appeal:
- The decision of the Shevchenkivskyi District Court to extend the detention was canceled.
- The preventive measure was changed to bail, which allowed the Client to be released and effectively defend his interests without unreasonable restrictions.
