A person is charged with a crime punishable by a fine or imprisonment for up to 3 months. Can detention be used as a measure of restraint before a case goes to court?
No, detention and bail can be used as a preventive measure against a person when:
1. A person has committed a crime for which the maximum term of imprisonment is more than one year.
2. There are sufficient grounds to believe that a person may hide from the body conducting the criminal proceedings, impede the consideration of the case, commit a crime, avoid criminal liability and serve the sentence imposed on him, as well as interfere with the execution of the court sentence.
Can a person be detained without reason?
A person may be detained only if there is a reasonable decision of the relevant authority (the investigating authority, investigator, prosecutor, court).

During the conversation, a friend of G. B. said that if G. would give him 300,000 drams, B. would bring the phone from abroad for G. at a bargain price. Believing B., G. transferred 300,000 drams to B., but later G. did not receive either a phone or money. Is B.’s act a crime?
B. will be prosecuted for fraud, because by deceiving G. or abusing his trust, he will take property from him, including money (or convince a person to transfer this property to him).
In order to qualify the act as a crime, the value of the property should be more than 30,000 drams.
