Reporting an offence

If you have suffered any damage or harm resulting from an offence, you have the right to file a complaint at a police station (in some situations, you can also file a complaint online).

The statement can be made in a language that you understand. The police officer can also use an interpreter.

The police officer produces a report that sets out the circumstances and events of the offence. It is important to provide as much information as possible at this stage, to help the Police identify the perpetrator(s). At the end of the interview, you must sign the report, which will be sent to the Prosecutor's Office. The Prosecutor's Office examines the merits of the complaint and decides what action will be taken.

You also have the option of filing your complaint directly with the Prosecutor's Office.

As a victim, you have the right to be assisted or represented by a lawyer.
