Criminal cases

What does criminal law concern?

Criminal law is one of the most developed branches of the law. It is composed of a set of laws setting out imperatives and prohibitions, acts regarded as crimes, penalties for violating laws and methods of enforcing penalties. Sources from which we derive knowledge of criminal cases include: the Criminal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Criminal Executive Code and the Criminal Fiscal Code.

Hence, criminal cases are all cases in which a person is suspected or accused of committing an offence. The most frequent cases include:

  • cases concerning accusations of extortion,
  • cases concerning fiscal offences,
  • slander cases,
  • cases concerning offences against health and assault,
  • cases concerning accusations of thefts, frauds, forgeries,
  • cases concerning offences related to drugs,
  • cases concerning driving mechanical vehicles while intoxicated,
  • stalking and cybercrime cases,
  • cases concerning accusations of violation of bodily integrity.

Advocate in criminal cases

Few of us have direct contact with the criminal law in our life. We generally hear about proceedings of this type on television or read in newspapers. Consequently, an advocate provides indispensable help at each stage of the proceedings. An advocate is a person who not only has expert knowledge of the laws, but also experience in handling similar cases and follows the case law of the courts on an on-going basis.

It is worth knowing that you have many rights when criminal proceedings are pending against you. Exercise them! The first thing you should do is contact a lawyer. It is important to ask for this contact as soon as possible so an advocate has an opportunity to talk with a suspect before interrogation by enforcement authorities.

Are you an immediate family member of a suspect? You can help the suspect by appointing a defence counsel. Remember, the sooner an advocate begins his or her work, the better. The criminal law provides for legal assistance for victims as well.
