Ombudswoman requests Constitutional Court review of criminal procedure changes
The Ombudsman has requested that the Constitutional Court rule on the constitutionality of several provisions introduced into the Code of Criminal Procedure by the law passed on 27 July 2026. If the Court declares these norms unconstitutional with generally binding force, they will be removed from the legal framework.
Why it matters
This legal challenge could lead to changes in criminal procedural rules currently in effect; if you are involved in or awaiting a criminal legal process, the rules governing your case may be subject to future revision depending on the Court's ruling.Useful?
