The Prosecutor’s Office returns temporarily seized laptops

A meat products distributor complained to the Business Ombudsman Counil about pressure and non-return of property by the Dnipropetrovsk regional prosecutor’s office.
The company reported that due to alleged tax evasion, law enforcers opened two criminal proceedings against the company. They searched the company’s office and seized computer equipment and documents. Despite the court order, law enforcers did not return the temporarily seized property, and so the company was forced to suspend its work.
BOC submitted a complaint for consideration of the Expert Group with the Prosecutor General’s Office and asked to immediately return the seized property to the enterprise. As a result, the regional prosecutor’s office enforced the court decision and returned the temporarily confiscated laptops to the enterprise in full.
