Successful Defence in a Drug Trafficking Case in Thessaloniki
Successful Defence in a Drug Trafficking Case in Thessaloniki
A criminal case involving a charge of instigating drug trafficking
Cases involving drug legislation are particularly serious and often require prompt and careful handling from the earliest stages of criminal proceedings.
Arrest, preliminary investigation, the initiation of criminal proceedings, questioning before the investigating judge and the decision on whether to impose pre-trial detention or restrictive conditions are stages at which timely and specialised legal assistance can be particularly important in protecting the accused's rights.
Instigating Drug Trafficking: Defence at the Investigative Stage
Our law firm represented our client before the investigating judge in Thessaloniki during questioning, as the client was accused of instigating drug trafficking.
Following the client's questioning and the presentation of the defence by our law firm, pre-trial detention was not imposed.Instead of pre-trial detention, the restrictive condition of a prohibition on leaving Greece was imposed.
Consequently, our client remained at liberty pending trial, subject to the restrictive condition imposed.
This case illustrates the importance that effective legal representation can have from the investigative stage of criminal proceedings, particularly where the charge concerns conduct related to drug trafficking.
