NATIONAL LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK CONCERNING DEFENDANTS AND PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY WITH INTELLECTUAL AND/OR PSYCHOSOCIAL DISABILITIES IN LAW AND PRACTICE 57 3.2.2. PRE-TRIAL DETENTION Another measure applied during criminal proceedings that restricts a person's freedom is pre-trial detention. It is one of the pre-trial measures (procedural coercive measures) provided for in the Code of Criminal Procedure to ensure the participation of the suspect, accused or convicted person in the process, unhindered pre-trial investigation, trial and execution of the sentence, as well as to prevent new criminal acts. In this case, arrest, intensive care, house arrest and other measures not related to deprivation of liberty are prescribed.66 Pre-trial detention of a suspect can only be ordered by a pre-trial investigation judge or a court and only if one of the four grounds established by the Code of Criminal Procedure exists: there must be a reasonable belief that the suspect will flee or hide, obstruct the process, commit new crimes, or a request to extradite the suspect to a foreign state must be received.67 ŠTwo conditions are also necessary for the application of this pre-trial measure: the goals set for the arrest cannot be achieved by less severe, non-custodial measures, and the criminal offence of which the person is suspected must be punishable by more than one year of imprisonment.68 Liutkevičius K.
