The criminal “under house arrest” will be kept in custody

Today, August 15, by the decision of the Transcarpathian Court of Appeal, the appeal of Irshava District Prosecutor’s Office on election of the preventive measure of detention against the suspect of felony was granted.

Irshava District Prisecutor Ivan Rusin reported, "On August 11, the suspect, who has been repeatedly convicted, was notified of suspicion of having committed a criminal offense under Part 1 of Article 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (murder, i.e. the intentional unlawful infliction of death to another person, punished by imprisonment for a period of seven to fifteen years) and a petition to the Irshava District Court to elect a preventive measure of detention against him was submitted."

However, the investigating judge, who had not considered all of the circumstances, denied the petition and chose a preventive measure in the form of house arrest (without prescribing to wear electronic means of control).

 "Therefore, not agreeing with the decision taken by the judge, on August 13, the district prosecutor’s office filed an appeal, which has been upheld by the panel of judges", – Ivan Rusin concluded.
