Corruption is the real problem in Ukraine. This phenomenon is so ingrained in our society and political system that it sometimes seems completely futile for government attempts to overcome it. The appearance of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, and the National Corruption Prevention Agency, unfortunately, did not change the number of corruption crimes at all.
Moreover, anti-corruption authorities are often interested in the activities of innocent people, thereby violating their rights and freedoms. For this reason, a lawyer for corruption offenses is especially popular today. You can use the services of this specialist if you contact the Lawrange Lawyers Association. Our company organizes effective legal protection in any, even the most difficult situations. Detailed counseling, personal participation and control during the pre-trial investigation, and then in court – we use these and other methods in the fight for your interests.
Lawyer for corruption offenses in Kyiv
This type of offense provides for administrative and criminal liability. If you’re being sued for corruption, then you need a corruption lawyer. Kiev, as a concentration of administration and business of various sizes, is often shaken by cases related to bribery. And criminal, administrative cases are not only initiated in connection with large bribes. Corruption offenses may also relate to:
- non-compliance with the requirements of financial control;
- violation of requirements in situations where the civil service is combined with other professional activities;
- disputes and violations arising from the receipt of gifts of a certain price category;
- prohibitions on sports betting, especially if it is possible to manipulate the results of sports;
- disputes concerning the declaration of various values – material, monetary, cultural, etc.;
- the use of the state budget for personal purposes or in the event of suspicion of committing such an offense;
- abuse or misconduct, bribery provocation.
In these and other similar cases, the assistance of a qualified expert is indispensable, especially if the allegations made have nothing to do with reality. It is also worth considering that quite often these acts qualify incorrectly. An experienced lawyer in corruption cases knows all the subtleties and nuances of protection against unlawful actions of anti-corruption organizations. He effectively seeks acquittals within the existing legal Ukrainian framework.
What to know about initiating corruption cases in Ukraine
This category of crimes is usually characterized by quite complex composition, presence of all kinds of nuances and «pitfalls». When a person is detained at the time of the bribe, they are obliged to explain their rights, including the right to legal assistance. This means that a person can either call.
The next important point is that the investigator has exactly 24 hours from the moment of detention to present suspicion to the person. Only after that they start choosing a measure of restraint, for which the detainee must be delivered to the court within 60 hours. The court, in turn, must determine the measure of restraint no later than 72 hours from the moment of detention. As a rule, in corruption cases, judges offer to take the detainee into custody with or without the possibility of posting bail.
In all the above-mentioned stages of the investigation, the participation of a lawyer becomes important, since it is he who can influence the choice of the preventive measure. The defense is often based on errors and irregularities committed during the investigation. The lawyer also searches for evidence of the client’s innocence, while looking for all kinds of violations of the order of secret investigative activities, which ultimately allows him to convince the court of the defended opinion.
