How to find a criminal case by name or number?

In practice, there is often a situation when it is necessary to obtain information from the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations (hereinafter referred to as the Unified Judicial Information System). This is a state information system, which is a component of the Unified Judicial Information System. The main purpose of this register is to collect, record, and store electronic copies of court decisions. In this article, we will consider how to find criminal proceedings by name or number.

Features of searching for information in the ERDR

Working with the ERDR, as with any other automated system, is regulated by certain rules. They help to search for the most relevant solutions. Contextual search is based on:

• Using both words and phrases.
• The order and form of words in the search are determined by double quotes.
• Any single character can replace a question mark.
• An asterisk can be used instead of any character/characters.
• If you put a plus in front of a word, this word must be included in the search result.
• If you put a minus in front of a word, the search will return documents where this word is missing.

When searching in the ERDR, you can use the logical operators OR, NOT, and AND.

Returning to the question of whether it is possible to find a criminal case by name or number, it is worth noting that in the conditions of a full-scale war, full access to the ERDR is limited. This is explained by data security considerations. As of now, a limited number of people have access to the register. Lists for opening access are provided by the heads of courts and heads of law enforcement agencies (in this case, users are determined personally).

Among the categories of persons who have the right to receive full information from the ERDR:

• Prosecutors, heads of prosecutorial bodies.

Access can be activated within the framework of those criminal proceedings in which they are directly involved.

• Heads of inquiry and pre-trial investigation bodies, inquirers, investigators.

Access is provided in relation to criminal offenses in respect of which these bodies are conducting a pre-trial investigation.

• A certain category of users.

Users receive access in accordance with the requirements of current criminal procedure legislation. The purpose of obtaining such access: conducting special records, analyzing the activities of law enforcement officers.

So, based on the above information, we can conclude that it is impossible to independently obtain information about the initiation of criminal proceedings against an individual/legal entity. Such information is available only to a limited category of persons.

So, it will not be possible to obtain an Extract or other information independently. The lawyers of our company "Prykhodko and Partners" can help you with this.
