How does a general criminal law case proceed?
Every case is unique. If you would like more information or have questions about your own case, you can always contact Law & More by telephone or email. To give you an idea of criminal law, we explain below how a general criminal case proceeds.
Step 1: Contacting Law & More
If you are arrested by the police, you will be taken to the police station. The police can hold you for up to 6 hours for questioning at the police station, not counting the time between 00:00 and 09:00. It is wise to use a lawyer as the police will ask you questions in order to gather evidence against you. You can have a lawyer appointed free of charge, but you can also choose a specialist lawyer such as the lawyers from Law & More.
Step 2: The Preliminary Investigation
The preliminary investigation starts already at the moment of interrogation. In this phase, you will have to deal with the police and the Public Prosecutor’s Office (OM), who will investigate whether you have committed the offence as a suspect. If, during or after the interrogation, it appears that the 6 hours were not enough to establish the facts, the Public Prosecutor – the assistant public prosecutor – may decide to detain you for a longer period of time for further investigation. You cannot be detained any longer for minor offences for which there is no provisional detention.
Step 3: Receiving a Summons
If the public prosecutor believes that your case should go to court, you will receive a summons from the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The summons states for which offence you will be prosecuted and where and when the judge will hear the case. In addition, the summons states which type of judge will decide on the case. This may be the cantonal judge for offences (minor offences), the police judge (for an offence punishable by a prison sentence of no more than one year), the multi-judge chamber (more serious offences are heard by three judges) or the economic judge (for economic offences). You can object to the summons if you think that you have been summoned wrongfully. You can do this within 8 days after the summons has been served to you (you have formally received the summons). It is important to use a lawyer for this.
Step 4: The Criminal Hearing
A hearing takes place in every criminal case. If it is a big case, the first hearing is a pro forma hearing. The case will not be dealt with substantively, but what the Public Prosecutor or your lawyer still wants to investigate will be examined. In smaller cases there is often only one hearing. You are not obliged to come to the hearing, but you always have the right to do so. If you do not come to the hearing, you can authorise your lawyer to defend you. If you do not respond at all to the summons and do not authorise your lawyer to defend you, then it is a case of absenteeism. Then the hearing and the case will be handled without your presence. However, the judge can oblige you to attend the hearing.
The judgment
When the judge rules depends on the type of case and which type of judge is hearing your case. The cantonal judge and the police judge often pronounce sentence orally immediately. For larger crimes there are often more judges and you will receive the decision – the verdict – within 2 weeks after the trial.
Appeal
If you do not agree with the decision of the judge, you can appeal to the court of appeal.
Suspect of a criminal offence? This is how you can sue a person for libel or slander
The criminal process starts with reporting a crime to the police. If the police and the Public Prosecutor suspect you of having committed an offence, you are a suspect. However, it may be the case that you claim not to have committed the offence, that the situation described above was quite different. What can you do then?
First of all, it is important to remember that a suspect is innocent until proven guilty. You are only guilty of a criminal offence if the criminal court declares you so in the judgment or the public prosecutor in the criminal order. You can appeal against this in cassation. The fact that you are a suspect does not mean that you are also the perpetrator. In addition, you can accuse the person who accuses you of committing an offence, for example if you are accused of raping the alleged victim, of slander. This means that someone accuses you of an untrue fact and damages your reputation or that you are deliberately defamed. This is a criminal offence. Consult Law & More for more information about suing for slander and defamation. We will be happy to assist you.
