The Ministry of Justice presented the draft of a new Criminal Code, which proposes, among other things, the possibility of conditional release of those sentenced to life imprisonment.
A2 CNN shows the procedures followed in this case.
1. The conditional release of a person sentenced to life imprisonment may be granted after he has served no less than thirty-five years of imprisonment by the date of the request and only if, during the service of the sentence, he has provided evidence of participation in the treatment program, has shown a certain remorse based on his overall behavior, his willingness to integrate into society, resulting from an interest in ethical and social values, evidence of kindness and solidarity, in the attitude held towards the victim of the offense committed by him, compensation for the damages he has caused them, the cessation of contacts with the criminal world, and the aim of erasing the harmful consequences of the criminal offense, not only economic, but also social, psychological or public order.
2. The request for early conditional release shall be submitted personally by the convicted person. It shall be addressed to the court of the place where the convicted person is serving his sentence. The Institute for the Execution of Criminal Decisions where the convicted person is serving his sentence shall take measures to immediately forward the request to the competent court, by notifying without delay a copy thereof to the prosecutor at the court of the place of execution and the relevant probation service. The authorities of the Institute for the Execution of Sentences shall accompany the request with a detailed report containing detailed data as required by the contents of the first paragraph of this article and Article 174 of this Code and the obligations imposed by law for the execution of criminal decisions on the participating entities.
3. In the court session on early release on parole, in addition to the convicted person, the prosecutor and the probation service, the court also hears the opinion of the victim of the criminal offense. The court, composed of three judges, through judicial debate, examines in detail whether the criteria for early release on parole with the conditions set out in this article and article 174 of this Code have been met.
4. In the overall assessment of all the circumstances, the court must assess whether the purpose of the punishment for his education has been achieved and, based on this assessment, give its decision. The state of crime in the country and the trends in criminal policy applied by the courts in issuing decisions on crimes committed in general, are elements that are taken into account in the implementation of early conditional release. The other parties in this process, according to the interests they represent, also assess the same circumstances.
5. The court's decision ordering early release on parole shall be executed immediately. (A2 Televizion)
