For a long time, law enforcement agencies, in conditions of weak judicial control, formed an illegal and even shameful practice of putting pressure on businesses by imposing arrests by investigative judges. At the request of an investigator (detective) agreed with the prosecutor or on the basis of the prosecutor’s request, the investigating judge, without calling the owners, quite often without proper legal assessment of such a request, imposes a seizure on:
– immovable property belonging to the business or its owners;
– funds in the bank accounts of companies or individuals;
– automotive equipment or production equipment.
Most often, the specified objects of arrest are declared by law enforcement officers as evidence in criminal proceedings, to which the owner of such property rarely has anything to do. Thus, with these arrests, law enforcement officers exert illegal pressure on business and businessmen, limiting the use and disposal of property, as well as depriving the business of the necessary mobility, sometimes stopping the entrepreneurial activity of the business as a result of such an arrest.
Using the legal shortcomings in the procedure of imposing an arrest, emphasizing the groundlessness of the requests of investigators (detectives) or prosecutors, based on the accumulated experience in the field of lifting arrests, we apply to the courts with the relevant procedural documents and ensure the proper protection of the rights of Clients. Our experience shows that the groundless seizure of property or funds is subject to unconditional cancellation with proper planning and justification.
