Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov has said he is convinced that the adopted law restricting the possibilities of law enforcement agencies when conducting investigative actions will bring positive results for everybody, not just for big business.

"The truth is that we severely restricted the police, the SBU, the fiscal service, the prosecutor's office. This will benefit not just businesses. This will benefit each of us who understand the stability of the whole system. That is, any business will work stably, and each of you will know that a phone or computer will not be taken away from you," Avakov said live on the Right to Power program on the 1+1 TV channel early on Friday.

He noted that from now on there would be a photo and video recording of the court issuing a decision. The absence of photo or video recording, according to Avakov, will mean the falsity of charges.

"This is a fundamental defense that works in the U.S. and Europe," he said.

As reported, the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, adopted at first reading and as a whole draft law No. 7275 on amendments to some legislative acts to ensure that law enforcement agencies observe the rights of participants in criminal proceedings and other persons during pretrial investigations. A total of 312 MPs supported the government-prepared bill on November 16.
