Appealing to the state prosecutor’s office against searches Appealing to the state prosecutor’s office against searches being conducted in the office of our client, a major logistics company. During such searches, financial and business documents of the company and computers were seized, while employees were given demands to appear to answer questions. As a result of the appeal, a response was received from the prosecutor’s office according to which it was established that police employees committed violations when they carried out the searches. The audits in relation to the company within the scope of the law “On searches and investigative activity” were terminated, the documents and computers were returned, and the employees were not interrogated.

Appealing a request to supply information Appealing a request from a police authority addressed to a major international retailer asking the retailer to supply information and documents. After the Moscow City State Prosecutor’s Office had examined the arguments set out in our appeal, it addressed a demand to the Deputy Head of the City of Moscow Internal Affairs Division for the information request to be withdrawn because it was neither grounded nor substantiated.
