Compensation for damage with state funds\nIf the accused or the persons who are materially liable for his actions do not possess sufficient means to compensate for damage, such damage may, in the cases and in accordance with the procedure provided for by law, be compensated with the funds allocated for this purpose by the State.\n\nPART III\nPROCEDURAL COERCIVE MEASURES\n\nCHAPTER XI\nSUPERVISION MEASURES\n\nArticle 119. Purpose of supervision measures\nSupervision measures may be imposed with a view to ensuring participation of a suspect, an accused person or a convicted person in proceedings, unimpeded pre-trial investigation, hearing of a case in court and execution of a judgment, also with a view to preventing new criminal acts."}
