Grounds and conditions for the application of preventive measures during the pre-trial investigation of corruption criminal offenses by V. V. Romaniuk, R. I. Login

“…The legal basis is the existence of a reasonable suspicion that a person has committed a corruption criminal offense and risks that give the investigating judge sufficient grounds to believe that the suspect may not fulfill the procedural duties assigned to him and try to hide from the pre-trial investigation bodies, commit actions to destroy or damage evidentiary information, illegally influence other participants in the criminal proceedings, or otherwise obstruct criminal proceedings, or continue criminal illegal activities. It is emphasized that when deciding on the application of preventive measures in the category of criminal proceedings under study, it is necessary to clarify the presence of risks stipulated in Part 2 of Article 177 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine and justify their sufficiency in relation to the elements of the mechanism of committing a specific corruption criminal offense. …”
