Constitutional Court challenge filed over acquittal in Slavko Curuvija murder case

The initiative submitted to the Constitutional Court challenges the CPC provision that excludes the possibility of appealing against an acquittal rendered at second instance, as well as provisions that prevent the Supreme Court, after establishing violations of the law in an acquittal judgment, from assessing whether those violations could have influenced the outcome of the concluded criminal proceedings and, if so, from quashing the judgment, the Foundation said.
