Subject of Dispute: Termination of Criminal Proceedings against a Person Who Committed Violent Actions against a Former Cohabitant.
The court’s main arguments are as follows: 1) the crime was committed in the context of domestic violence, as the person committed unlawful actions against a former cohabitant with whom they have a common child; 2) the indictment clearly specifies the circumstances indicating the presence of domestic violence characteristics; 3) according to the law, criminal proceedings in cases of domestic violence cannot be terminated upon the victim’s request.
The court decided to revoke previous court rulings and assign a new hearing in the court of first instance, taking into account the provided explanations.
