Office of Prosecutor Authorized to Monitor the Bank Accounts

October 4, 2011

Office of Prosecutor is authorized to monitor the bank accounts. New amendment is being made to the Criminal Procedural Code regarding the monitoring of bank accounts.

According to the draft law, if there is grounded assumption that the individual is exercising criminal conduct using the bank account, the prosecutor is authorized to address the court with the request to issue the allowance to monitor the bank accounts according to the place of investigation. In this case, the bank will be obliged to cooperate with the investigation and provide information regarding transfers made in one or several bank accounts.

The prosecutor will be authorized to take the same measures in order to search/identify the property subject to the deprivation.

The Office of Prosecutor should be informed regarding the undertakings of investigation immediately after the fulfillment of operation. In case of transferring/withdrawing money from the bank account, information should be provided before the fulfillment of operation. Besides, the draft law establishes that the term of monitoring of bank transfers should not exceed the necessary term for obtaining the evidence in the criminal case.

The authors and initiators of the draft law are the deputies Kakhaber Anjaparidze and Zviad Kukava.
