Service for Preparing a Statement on the Indications of a Criminal Offense to Ukrainian Law Enforcement Authorities

The issue of non-enforcement of court decisions is widespread in Ukraine, and in order to protect your rights, it is important to act decisively and within the law. If you are faced with a situation where a court decision is not being enforced, it is necessary to submit a statement to law enforcement agencies regarding the commission of a criminal offense. The lawyers of AROU (Advocacy and Realtor Union of Ukraine) offer qualified assistance in preparing such a statement in order to ensure an appropriate response to the violation of your rights.

Non-Enforcement of a Court Decision as a Criminal Offense

According to Article 382 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, non-enforcement of a court decision or evasion of its execution by an official is considered a criminal offense. Such offenses may include cases where officials or other persons deliberately avoid executing rulings, decisions, or other documents issued by the court. In such situations, the affected party has the right to contact law enforcement agencies to initiate a pre-trial investigation.

Liability for Non-Enforcement of a Court Decision

Failure to comply with a court decision may result in serious consequences for the guilty parties. Article 382 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine provides for criminal liability for the intentional non-execution of court rulings. These actions are classified as a crime, especially when committed by officials who are obligated to enforce court decisions. Additionally, compulsory enforcement through the state enforcement service may also be applied for non-compliance.

How to File a Statement About a Crime?

Filing a statement regarding signs of a criminal offense requires clear legal preparation, as the proper drafting of the document is the key to a prompt response from law enforcement authorities. The lawyers of AROU offer assistance in preparing such statements to ensure proper protection of your interests.

Main stages of preparing a statement:

1. Collection of evidence — lawyers gather all necessary evidence confirming the fact of non-enforcement of the court decision

2. Drafting the statement — based on the collected data, a statement is prepared clearly describing the circumstances of the case, evasion from enforcement, and reference to Article 382 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine

3. Filing the statement with law enforcement agencies — the lawyer supervises the submission process to ensure proper review and initiation of criminal proceedings

What Should a Statement on a Criminal Offense Include?

The statement should include the following key points:

• A description of the circumstances confirming the fact of intentional evasion from the enforcement of the court decision

• Reference to relevant legal provisions, particularly Article 382 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine

• Evidence confirming the violation of the law and non-enforcement of the court ruling

• A request to initiate a pre-trial investigation and hold the responsible parties accountable

When Should a Crime Statement Be Filed?

If a court decision is not enforced within the established timeframe, or you encounter active evasion from execution by officials or other parties, it is important to immediately contact a lawyer to prepare a statement. The sooner the statement is filed, the greater the chances of a prompt investigation and forced execution of the court ruling.

Violation of Rights Due to Non-Enforcement of Court Decisions

Violation of the law in the form of non-enforcement of court decisions not only harms the reputation of the judiciary but also infringes on the rights of citizens who cannot receive appropriate compensation or fulfillment of other obligations. Protecting rights through the courts in such cases requires active participation of a lawyer who will help ensure enforcement by involving law enforcement and initiating criminal proceedings.
