statement

# **If an accused person dies after an acquittal verdict has been appealed, the appellate court closes the appellate proceedings (or, where the verdict concerns several persons, closes them in the part concerning the deceased) on the basis of Art. 8, part 6 of Art. 9, point 5 of part 1 of Art. 284, and Art. 417 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, except where the verdict was appealed by the defense as to the motives and grounds for acquittal and close relatives or family members of the deceased insist on continuing consideration of that appeal.**
