Criminal complaints
The right approach to a criminal complaint can make all the difference.
If you or your company have been the victim of a criminal offense or you are threatened by an announced criminal offense, you can file a criminal complaint. However, the interest and intensity of criminal prosecution can vary greatly within Germany and even within the individual federal states. The correct procedure for filing a criminal complaint can make a decisive difference.
It is important to take into account not only the perspective of the injured party, but also that of the prosecuting authorities, the public prosecutor’s office, the tax investigation or customs.
