Some issues concerning the legal regulation of the release of suspects and accused persons from custody
The author of the article analyzes the mechanism for the release of suspects and accused persons from custody by security and escort police units, which is caused by the issues of preventing escapes from custody committed by persons being under detention, in particular. It is substantiated that there is the need to expand the list of detention facilities due to the fact that the suspects and persons accused of committing crimes, when being escorted to the court for hearing their cases by convoy, are in custody, including the period when they are transported in vehicles. In cases where the detention period established by law has expired, it is proposed to consider the head (or the head of convoy) of the unit for protecting and escorting the suspects and accused persons as the subject of making the decision on the release of a person from custody in the courts or the convoy premises. It is concluded that the introduction of the proposed amendments and additions will improve the mechanism for the release of suspects and persons accused of committing crimes from custody while they are in the courts or the convoy premises.
