In this issue, we discuss the defense’s “counterattack” tactic—when a defense attorney does not merely refute the prosecution’s evidence but actually initiates criminal proceedings against the complainant under Article 383 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
This is not only a powerful legal move but also an important signal to the prosecution: the client isn’t hiding—he’s ready to prove his case.
We’ll break down how to effectively apply this tactic, what advantages it offers, and how a defense attorney can use the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations (ERDR) to gather alternative evidence. Watch until the end—it’ll be practical and to the point!
