In the case of Kirtok v. Ukraine (applications no. 26193/20 and no. 9489/21) Artem Fedosin represented the Client, who was detained for a long time in connection with the murder charge. In this case, the ECHR noted that:
The Court observes that the general principles on the right to trial within a reasonable time or release during the proceedings guaranteed by Article 5 § 3 of the Convention,…. The Court does not see any facts or arguments which could persuade it to reach a different conclusion as to the admissibility and merits of the complaints. …The Court considers that in the present case the length of the applicant’s detention during the pre-trial investigation was excessive.
Also in this case, the ECHR found a violation of the reasonable time limit for consideration of criminal proceedings and the lack of protection against such red tape.
As a result, the Client’s rights were restored and he received just satisfaction.
