In particular, among these limitations is essential procedural obstacles with removing the arrest of property of the person against whom criminal proceedings were closed .

According to the  Part 3 article  174 Code,  the prosecutor at the same time (when makes decision about closing criminal proceedings) should make a decision about cancelation of arrest of property.  

However, in practice, prosecutors do not write such decision in one document at once (about cancelation of arrest of property ) due to their lack of responsibility for such actions…

So,   person  has to ask after the investigating judge to appeal  such actions of the prosecutor, which entails additional expenditure of time and money of the person against whom criminal proceedings have already closed.

-          Abolition of arrest of property automatically without appropriate decision of prosecutor or the investigating judge in the case of closure of the criminal investigation,

-          Returning  the collateral on the basis of an exclusive list of documents  WITHOUT having to get a court decision about returning  the collateral in the event of a decision to close the criminal investigation,

Enabling the Bank and the state registrar to remove arrest of property on the basis of decision about closure of the criminal investigation.
