Summary of criminal proceedings
Below is a summary of the normal stages of criminal proceedings
- The procedure starts with a denunciation of an offence, a complaint by a victim or a crime or offence by the police.
- A preliminary investigation is ordered by the State Prosecutor.
- the police questions the suspects and may detain them for a maximum period of 24 hours.
- if the State Prosecutor appoints an investigating judge, he or she decides on your charge, that is to say, officially accused of having committed an offence, and then raises the question of whether or not you have committed an offence.
- the judge can arrest you by the police and put you in prison: you have the right to ask for provisional release from the chamber of the district court
- the investigating judge investigates the case for and against
- when it has finished, the investigating judge hands over the file to the prosecutor, who proposes that there is no need to proceed (end of the prosecution without further action) or your referral to a court for trial. You have the right to bring an action against the referral
- you will appear at the court hearing in criminal cases.
- a judgment pays you or you condemn it
- you have the right to appeal and to be re-judged by the Court of Appeal
You will find details of all these stages of the procedure and your rights in the factsheets. This information should not replace the consultation of a lawyer and should be used only for guidance.
