The Pechersk District Court of the city of Kyiv denied the request for the application of a preventive measure in the form of detention against a client of the Neofelis Lo Group Law Firm.
Detention is the most severe measure of restraint under the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, however, the prosecution often asks the court to choose such a measure of restraint against suspects. In turn, judges quite often grant such motions even without taking into account their unfoundedness.
This decision of the court in the case № 757/33687/20-k was the result of effective representation by the lawyers of “Neofelis Lo Group” of the interests of the suspect in the given criminal proceedings.
