Prosecution and crime
Criminal Procedure Code No. 5271
The Criminal Procedure Code No. 5271 governs how a suspicion of an offence is followed through investigation and trial. The investigation number, the indictment and a decision of non-prosecution are separate papers of this procedure. Deferral of the announcement of the verdict has its own article. The current result is not repeated here.
Service of an indictment and the return of an indictment are different. An objection to a decision of non-prosecution is a separate article too. This guide does not copy them as if they were the statute text.
The article on deferral of the verdict stands. This statute page does not change that article’s result with an unverified decision number.
This page does not replace the official text.
