Pretrial detention compensation under new law
Article 523 of the new Criminal Procedure Law specifies the cases in which indemnity for preventive detention is granted, including when the incident is punishable by a fine or a misdemeanor with a penalty of less than one year; or when a final judgment has been issued declaring the absence of grounds for the case; or when the accused is found innocent due to the inaccuracy of the incident or for other reasons unrelated to nullity or doubt regarding the accusation. The provisions also cover situations where the accused has served a sentence and the judgment is subsequently annulled, provided that the Public Treasury bears the compensation, on the condition that the period does not repeat the detention or penalty during a similar or longer period. The request for indemnity must be submitted through the usual procedures and is subject to judgment and appeal according to the Civil and Commercial Procedure Law.
