Liability under Articles 307 and 309 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine

Article 309 generally concerns the unlawful production, manufacture, acquisition, possession, transportation, or sending of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, or their analogues without intent to sell. The type and amount of the substance, the circumstances of discovery, expert findings, and other evidence may affect the legal classification.

Article 307 concerns sale or other conduct carried out with intent to sell. Investigators may rely on packaging, correspondence, scales, controlled-purchase materials, money transfers, or statements from other persons. Each allegation must be assessed separately because finding a substance does not by itself always prove an intention to sell or transfer it.

Counsel reviews the classification of the alleged offence, the lawful collection of evidence, the chain of custody of seized material, and compliance of expert examinations with procedural rules. Where appropriate, the lawyer files motions, objections, and complaints against decisions or actions of the prosecution.

Urgent legal assistance during detention or a search in Bila Tserkva

A detained person should use the right not to provide self-incriminating statements and request a lawyer. Counsel clarifies the legal grounds for detention, reviews the record, meets the client confidentially, and documents violations. During a search, the lawyer checks the court order, the permitted scope of the search, the inventory of seized property, and comments added to the record.

Prompt assistance in Bila Tserkva can help preserve recordings, documents, and other information relevant to the defence. After the urgent action, counsel considers whether to challenge a violation, seek the return of property, contest an attachment order, or prepare the client for questioning.

For an initial estimate, the lawyer needs a concise description of the situation and the available procedural documents. This makes it possible to exclude work that is unnecessary for the agreed strategy.
