Key Amendments to the New Criminal Procedure Law

The New Criminal Procedure Law introduces significant developments aimed at strengthening defense rights and reinforcing procedural safeguards before investigative authorities and courts. Mr. Mohamed Farhat, Lawyer in Giza, closely follows these developments and their practical legal implications in criminal cases, including:

• Reduction of Pretrial Detention Periods: The new framework establishes maximum limits for pretrial detention, restricts the circumstances in which it may be imposed, and provides alternative precautionary measures to prevent pretrial detention from effectively becoming a punishment before a final judgment.

• Regulation of Arrest and Search Procedures: The law establishes safeguards governing entry into and searches of homes, including requirements relating to judicial authorization, while strengthening protections for privacy and challenging unlawful procedures.

• Strengthening Investigation Guarantees: The amendments reinforce the defendant's procedural guarantees and the role of the lawyer during investigation and questioning before the Public Prosecution and competent investigative authorities.

• Two-Level Litigation in Felony Cases: The new framework provides broader judicial safeguards by allowing judgments issued in felony cases to be reviewed through appeal, providing an additional level of judicial scrutiny.

• Compensation for Unlawful or Erroneous Pretrial Detention: The new legal framework addresses compensation mechanisms in circumstances where an individual has suffered harm as a result of wrongful or unlawful detention, strengthening confidence in procedural justice.
