No. 6681) amends clauses 52, 389 and 390 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine to extend their effect not only onto the persons whose punishment was awarded by court judgment, but also on those whose punishment was awarded under clause 82 of this Code as a change of the unserved part of punishment for a more lenient sentence.

 

The author of the bill believes that the act corrects the deficiencies in the applicable Criminal Code as to the institution of criminal proceedings against the persons who evaded the service of sentence regardless of the procedure of its assignment.
