Protected one of the largest distributors of mobile devices during a two-week search

Law enforcement officers expected that the day of the search would be no different from the previous one: they would arrive, seize property, and leave. However, that was not the case this time.

The client, one of the largest distributors of mobile devices in Ukraine, promptly sought assistance from Riyako & Partners, who immediately assessed the situation and realised that such a scenario was unlawful and could cause irreparable damage to the business. The lawyers intervened at the initial stage and forced the investigators to comply with procedural rules.

WHAT WE DID

The Riyako & Partners team promptly ensured the continuous presence of lawyers at the search site. As the investigation lasted two weeks, our colleagues worked in shifts every day, from morning to evening, to ensure that no stage was left without proper control.

We ensured compliance with procedural rules during the search and proper recording of every action taken by law enforcement officers.

Thanks to our work

law enforcement officers did not seize the property, leaving it in the client's custody

the company continued its business activities without interruption.

It was a complex and painstaking task – the search protocol was over 500 pages long. Thanks to the coordinated actions of our team, the client not only received effective legal protection, but also maintained business stability in the face of serious procedural pressure.
