Lifting of the Asset Freeze on Client Funds Seized During a Search

Attorneys have successfully defended the property rights of Clients by lifting asset freezes on funds that were seized during searches within various criminal proceedings.

Initially, the restrictions were imposed by the prosecution to preserve physical evidence; however, the subsequent prolonged retention of the assets proved to be groundless, which was demonstrated by the attorneys in court. The investigating judges concurred with the defense’s arguments that the seized cash did not meet the criteria for physical evidence, did not constitute illicit gain, and was of lawful origin.

Thanks to the legal positioning developed by the Partner and Counsel at Grain Law Firm, the courts lifted the encumbrances in full. The Clients’ right to dispose of their property was restored regarding funds in the amounts of USD 150,000 and USD 3,300, respectively.

The defense of the Clients’ interests and courtroom representation were conducted by Oleksandr Teleshetskyi, Partner at Grain Law Firm, and Alina Davydova, Counsel.

The full texts of the court rulings are available in the Unified State Register of Court Decisions under Case Nos. 761/30806/25 and 757/30596/25-к.
