Presumption of the defendant's innocence and pretrial detention in criminal proceedings

S obzirom na to da je pretpostavka okrivljenikove nedužnosti temeljno načelo koje se primjenjuje tijekom cijelog kaznenog postupka, u radu je poseban naglasak stavljen na odnos te pretpostavke i instituta istražnog zatvora. Primarno je obrađena pretpostavka okrivljenikove nedužnosti, njezino pojmovno određenje i priroda, razvoj i pravni izvori. Potom je dan uvod u institut istražnog zatvora, osnove za njegovo određivanje te trajanje i izvršavanje kako bi se mogao dati uvid u povezanost, ali i suprotstavljenost tih instituta. Spomenuta dva instituta i njihova povezanost kroz pravne izvore analizirani su u četvrtom poglavlju. Naposljetku, analizirane su sudske odluke o istražnom zatvoru u kojima je sporna pretpostavka okrivljenikove nedužnosti te su navedeni primjeri iz sudske prakse.Given that the presumption of the defendant's innocence is a fundamental principle that must be followed during the entire procedure, the paper places a special emphasis on the relationship between such a presumption and the institute of pretrial detention. The presumption of the defendant's innocence, its conceptual definition and nature, development and legal sources are discussed. Then, an introduction to the institution of pretrial detention, the basis for its ordering and its duration and execution, was given in order to provide an insight into the connection, but also the opposition of these institutes The mentioned two institutes and their connection through legal sources are analyzed in the fourth chapter. At the end, court decisions on pretrial detention were analyzed, in which the presumption of the defendant's innocence is contested, and then examples are given from court practice
