Feel free to ask
What are the stages of the criminal prosecution process?
Criminal proceedings start with an investigation and end with the termination of the proceedings or an indictment. After the indictment, the trial phase begins and ends with the acquittal or conviction of the accused.
If you are accused, will you be convicted?
Suspicion does not mean that the suspect is guilty. Suspicion is communicated by the police to the suspected offender during the investigation but only a court has the power to determine criminal liability (i.e. conviction) and can also give a judgment of acquittal.
Who can order an arrest and when?
Arrest is a court-licensed coercive measure, which means that it can only be ordered by a judge. The order is proposed by the prosecution but the decision is made by the court. The arrest may be preceded by detention by the police.
What is criminal supervision?
Criminal supervision is a coercive measure where, instead of being sent to prison, the free movement of the accused (offender) is restricted to an area (e.g. a flat). This measure is also called house arrest. The movement of the offender and his/her stay within the designated area is controlled by the police using a tracking device.
When do I have a criminal record?
The adverse legal consequence of a conviction, or what is colloquially known as a “criminal record”, means that if someone is found criminally liable – that is, convicted and sentenced or disciplined – they cannot receive a certificate of good conduct while they are disqualified.
