PRAGNUM helped a client to cancel suspicion and close criminal proceedings

Our client is an employee of Microsoft, a well-known software manufacturer. During his work in the United States, the Ukrainian police registered a criminal proceeding against the client for alleged fraud, which consisted of the client's persuading an unauthorized person to provide access to an electronic wallet and seizing cryptocurrency in the amount of 127 bitcoins.

In this case, the client was served with a notice of suspicion and put on the wanted list, after which he contacted PRAGNUM.

For our part, we initiated an interrogation of the “victim” and obtained information about the source of income for the purchase of 127 bitcoins. PRAGNUM's lawyers also independently obtained a number of pieces of evidence confirming the falsity of the “victim's” testimony and the illegality of the notice of suspicion.

These actions allowed us to initiate and successfully complete the cancellation of the notice of suspicion in court and the termination of the search. Subsequently, the obtained evidence base allowed us to file relevant complaints with both the pre-trial investigation body and the court, which resulted in the closure of criminal proceedings and the dismissal of all charges against the client.
