English / Criminal defence / Detention

Urgent criminal defence

Immediate action when liberty is at stake.

An arrest warrant must state a strong suspicion, a legal ground for detention and proportionality. Each element should be reviewed without delay.

What the defence examines

  • allegation and evidential basis
  • risk of flight, interference or repetition
  • less restrictive alternatives
  • personal, family and employment circumstances

For relatives

Provide the full name, date of birth, place of detention and any available reference number. Do not discuss details of the allegation on recorded calls.
