RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DECISION NOT TO CHARGE THE DEFENDANT
If, at the end of the preliminary investigation, the Public Prosecutor considers the evidences insufficient to request a commitment for trial for the accused, they ask the judge for the preliminary inquiries in the proceeding to be archived. If the victim does not agree with the Public Prosecutor’s decision, they can present an act of opposition to the judge for the preliminary investigation. With this act the victim can assert new arguments of the investigation and legal and factual matters.
The time limit to present the act of opposition is of 20 days; the limit is extended to 30 days in case of residential burglary and robbery, but especially in assault crime’s cases.
In the event of inactivity in the conduct of the investigation by the Public Prosecutor, the offended person can request the Prosecutor General at the Court of Appeal for a call-back of the investigation.
