Frequently asked questions
I have been summoned to give a statement. Do I need to go with a lawyer?
It is not mandatory, but having a lawyer present during your statement is your right and you must be reminded of it. For offences carrying a minimum sentence of more than five years' imprisonment, a lawyer is appointed even if you do not request one.
How long do I have to file a complaint?
For offences prosecuted only upon complaint, the deadline is six months from the date you learned of the act and the perpetrator. For other offences, the prosecutor opens an investigation on their own initiative as soon as they learn of the crime.
