For servicemembers who voluntarily returned from the temporarily occupied territory, they want to set clear time limits for closing criminal proceedings.
Right now a servicemember can already return to the unit, continue service, and receive payments, but the criminal proceeding against them can remain open for months.
The NAAU Committee proposes to change this:
• after the commander notifies about the servicemember’s return, the investigator will have up to 2 months for the necessary procedural actions and for notifying of suspicion — this is needed for the subsequent closure of the proceeding;
• the prosecutor will then have 72 hours to close the case.
The proposals have already been forwarded to the relevant committee of the Verkhovna Rada as part of the work on draft law No. 16074.
In the “Advocate+” project they emphasize: the goal is not only to help in individual cases, but to change mechanisms that systematically create problems for servicemembers. Previously, lawyers together with Spartan’s legal team prepared amendments regarding the military tax on combat pay, and also helped the Charter to develop the legal mechanism for creating a Foreign Recruitment Center for the National Guard.
