The Founding Court in Pec has approved the Constitutional Criminal Department's proposal in Pec for the appointment of house arrest against H.R indictees because of alleged criminal acts of conflict against interest, abuse of official position or authority, and counterfeiting the official document, as well as to L.B. indictees for allegedly committing criminal acts of abuse of office or official authority, and forging the official document<1> says the statement.
“While, for defendant F. B, suspected that in co-ordination with indictees H.R. and L.B. had to carry out the counterfeit criminal work of the official document, the state prosecutor at the session gave up the proposal to appoint the house arrest measure”, it is now said.
The H.R. and L.B. defendants have been assigned house arrest measures in length of (1) months.
The judge of the preliminary procedure following the hearing hearing and the analysis of the subject papers has confirmed that there is no doubt that the defendants H.R. and L.B. have committed the criminal acts suspected of by the state prosecution, and there are also circumstances that indicate that with the possible finding of the defendants in freedom can affect Communist officials, but also other witnesses in the direction of hiding and changing material evidence and thereby prevent the normal course of criminal procedure. Also, in view of the weight of criminal acts, the way and circumstances in which criminal acts have been committed, and in view of the serious consequences these criminal acts have for society, the disseminateness of them, as well as the fact that defendant H. R has been known for law organs for criminal acts of interest, indicate the danger that with the possible finding of defendants at freedom, the same could repeat criminal acts or commit any new criminal act.
The court under official duty and according to the defence proposal for its defenders to be refused the proposal for the appointment of house arrest, has praised other measures, but has found the house arrest measure more adequate at this stage of criminal procedure.
Against this decision the dissatisfied side has the right to complaint at the Appeals Court”, the announcement continues.
