Scope and Areas Covered by Criminal Law

Criminal law is not limited to the imposition of penal sanctions. It also ensures the protection of individuals’ right to a fair trial, the lawful collection of evidence, and the full exercise of the right to defense.
For this reason, developing the right strategies in criminal cases is essential to prevent irreparable grievances in the future.

Criminal Proceedings and Investigation Processes

Criminal proceedings consist of two main stages: the investigation and the prosecution (trial).

• The investigation phase is initiated by the public prosecutor upon suspicion of a crime. During this stage, statements are taken, evidence is collected, and necessary precautionary measures are implemented.
• The prosecution phase begins with the acceptance of the indictment and is conducted by the court. In this stage, the defendant’s defense is heard, witnesses testify, and a judgment is rendered.

Types of Crimes Tried Before High Criminal Courts

High Criminal Courts handle the prosecution of crimes that carry more severe criminal penalties. The main types of cases tried before these courts include:

 

• Intentional homicide and assault
• Sexual assault and child sexual abuse
• Production and trafficking of narcotic substances
• Robbery, extortion, and aggravated fraud
• Offenses committed by public officials, such as embezzlement, bribery, and abuse of office
• Organized crime and fraudulent bankruptcy cases

 

Developing a specialized defense strategy in such cases can significantly influence the course of the proceedings.

Regional Appeals and Court of Cassation Procedures

Appeals and applications to higher courts are of critical importance in criminal cases, as they allow decisions to be reviewed by a superior court.

 

• An appeal enables regional courts of justice to examine the decisions of local courts.
• A supreme court application (cassation) allows the Court of Cassation to review whether the law was correctly applied.

 

The time limits and procedural requirements for these applications are very strict. Incomplete or incorrect filings can result in the direct loss of rights under criminal law.
